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.

Impact on tritium behavior in the atmosphere was numerically analyzed and the tritium deposition coefficient onto water surface was measured by an experiment. Measured deposition coefficients were observed to vary with the mixing of water. It was shown by numerical analysis that when deposition coefficient was grater than 0.5, it could be expected that about 70 % of released tritium would be absorbed by water when release point was set on the sea and that when it was 0.15, about 40% of tritium would be absorbed.
