DOE loan, task force report spur nuclear momentum in Iowa
NextEra Energy has secured a Department of Energy loan of up to $1.9 billion for its restart of the Duane Arnold nuclear power plant in Linn County, Iowa.
The announcement that NextEra and the DOE’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing had closed on a loan came this morning, less than a week after the state’s Nuclear Energy Task Force issued a final report on the feasibility of new nuclear projects in Iowa.

Placzek proved that the collision density of neutrons coming from an energy point source and slowing down by isotropic elastic scattering in an infinite one-isotope nonabsorbing medium oscillates in a certain typical manner. It is proved in this paper that Placzek-type oscillations occur in one-isotope infinite media under the most general elastic scattering law and most general absorption law. In particular, the scattering need not be isotropic nor the absorption small or constant.
