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.

The electrostatic fluctuation was observed by a heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) at the central cell in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. The fluctuation of the end plates settled at both side of GAMMA 10 was observed. In the plasma, as increasing of the electrostatic fluctuation, decrease of the diamagnetism and electron density was observed. The radial profile of particle transport induced by fluctuations increased substantially. A strong correlation between the potential fluctuations measured by HIBP and end plates was observed. The electrostatic fluctuation propagated from the central cell to end cell.
