DOE issues new NEPA rule and procedures—and accelerates DOME reactor testing
Meeting a deadline set in President Trump’s May 23 executive order “Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy,” the DOE on June 30 updated information on its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) rulemaking and implementation procedures and published on its website an interim final rule that rescinds existing regulations alongside new implementing procedures.

Continuous bench-plant operation for ∼4 months has resulted in the first recovery of 3 %-enriched uranium by means of a chemical-exchange process. This confirms the reduced development time and uranium adsorption band stability predicted by mathematical models, which are derived by application of mass transfer concepts to redox chromatography and extension of addition reaction equilibrium equations to include multiphase systems. Furthermore, it confirms the achievement of a reduction in stage time by >103 through catalytic acceleration of the isotope-exchange rate and employment of an adsorbent with a high adsorption/desorption rate.
