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.

In magnetic nuclear fusion plasmas, plasma particle transport causes the decrease of density and stored energy. Plasma particle and thermal energy are lost across the confinement magnetic field lines by the turbulence of thermodynamics force and instability. We studied the characteristics of flute-type fluctuation by using the gold neutral beam probe (GNBP) and electrostatic probes.
