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.

Students will utilize a minimal Design Information Questionnaire to perform a Diversion Path Analysis (DPA) for B-Reactor. They will then determine misuse scenarios at B-reactor, including possible equipment that may be misused.
Utilizing generic objectives, students will develop Technical Objectives for the diversion paths they identified. Students will then devise a safeguards approach based on their TO’s by identifying specific measures.
