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.

We propose to use dispersion interferometer for measurement of plasma density and control of plasma position on present and future fusion devices. Distinguishing feature of this scheme is probing of plasma on two wavelengths. Short-wave radiation is formed by method of frequency fundamental radiation doubling. Probing first and second harmonics rays are combined spatially at the same time. It allows to create interferometer which is sensitive only to dispersion of studied medium and weakly sensitive to vibration of optical elements. Designs of the optical system dispersion interferometer and results of plasma density measurements on GDT mirror and TEXTOR tokamak are presented.
