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.

Come join us for the inaugural NCSD Young Member Subcommittee social event! Just a 5-minute walk from the conference venue! The first hour will be a speed ‘meet and greet’ event so have a 5-minute pitch for your job/involvement with NCS ready and be prepared to exchange contact information. The second hour will be for additional socializing. Drink tickets will be provided for participants (extra tickets provided if you volunteer for a sub position in the committee). The goal of this is to meet your colleagues, possibly identify a ‘buddy’ at a different site to regularly communicate with, and to have fun. Looking forward to seeing you at the event!
For more information about the NCSD Young Member Subcommittee please visit our website.
Target Audience: Those that meet the ANS young members definition (35 years or younger or 6 years from graduation) or new to working in the NCS discipline (less than 5 years).
Capacity: 40 attendees. Please note, this is 21 and over only event.
