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.

Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) is used for the formation of the axial confining potential by plug/barrier-ECRH (P/B-ECRH) and for the bulk electron heating in the central-cell by central-ECRH (C-ECRH) in GAMMA 10. The plasma performance was increased with ECRHs injection. However the degradation of the plasma parameter was occasionally observed during C-ECRH injection. Increase of the number of the loss particle was also observed at the same time. The mechanism of the degradation of the plasma parameter was investigated in terms of the particle balance.
