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 this paper, the possibility for determination of the tritiated water activity using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometry was analyzed. The method relies on estimation of hydroxyl radicals resulted from self-radiolytical processes using EPR spectrometers. The mechanisms of inducing of free radical by self radiolysis of tritiated water, the accumulation time of hydroxyl radicals and the corroboration of signals amplitude with the tritiated water concentration have been studied.
