NRC issues draft EA/FONSI for Duane Arnold restart
Efforts by NextEra Energy to restart the Duane Arnold nuclear power plant as early as 2029 continue to move forward with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's preliminary environmental assessment and determination that the restart would have no significant environmental impacts.
On Thursday, the NRC posted a draft environmental assessment and a finding of no significant impact for the Palo, Iowa, facility; the Federal Register notice was published on Monday. The Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing is a cooperating agency on the draft EA, as the DOE is considering providing financial assistance to the restart project.
International Conference on Mathematics and Computational Methods Applied to Nuclear Science and Engineering (M&C 2025)
Piero Ravetto is currently professor emeritus of nuclear reactor physics at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, where he spent most of his career.
Over several decades, he has carried out research in the fields of neutron transport and nuclear reactor physics, contributing to the development of analytical and numerical methods, and he has been involved in the study of models and methods for the simulation of innovative nuclear systems (molten-salt reactors and accelerator-driven systems) and for the interpretation of kinetic experiments.
He is a fellow of the American Nuclear Society. He served as executive editor of the journal Annals of Nuclear Energy in the period 2019-2024.
