Categorical Exclusion Determinations: B3.6

This Second Amended Determination follows the approval of additional funding, period of performance, and new project milestones to support the project team's small-scale research and development activities to further advance their electric aviation engine and cooling system designed under the Aviation-class Synergistically Cooled Electric-motors with iNtegrated Drives (ASCEND) program.
This Second Amended Determination follows the approval of additional funding, period of performance, and new project milestones to support the project team's small-scale research and development activities to further advance their solution for effectively managing complex fluoride salt waste from reactors under the Optimizing Nuclear Waste and Advanced Reactor Disposal Systems (ONWARDS) program.
This Fourth Amended Determination follows a change to field testing locations and project partners to support the project team's small-scale research and development activities to finalize, test, and validate their full-scale 160 kilowatt (kW) tidal turbine, currently in development under the Submarine Hydrokinetic and Riverine Kilo-Megawatt Systems (SHARKS) program.
This Amended Determination follows the approval of additional funding, period of performance, removal of teaming partners, and new project milestones to include the development of three additional Substation in a Cable for Adaptable, Low-cost Electrical Distribution (SCALED) alternating current (AC) to AC cells in addition to the development of four direct current (DC) to DC SCALED cells already in progress, with a goal to create a cohesive, all-in-one structure to replace bulky, inflexible power substations in the electrical grid.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Rutgers University (RU) to develop an experimental setup that enables model-scale testing of certain types of hydrokinetic turbines (HKTs), develop a model-scale reference hydrokinetic turbine (rHKT), and the creation and dissemination of large raw and post-processed datasets.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Triton Anchor, LLC (Triton) to develop and numerically model a Marine Energy Converter (MEC) and Co-use MEC platform arrays to challenge current anchoring behavior and derive anchor optimizations tailored specifically to omni-directional loading scenarios through physical centrifuge testing.
