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 proposed a flexible electron density measurement system based on the interferometer for confinement study. An INRD guide antenna for spatial scan capability of a probe beam has been analytically designed. As a result of fabricating and evaluating the antenna, it was confirmed that the antenna has a predicted performance. We also evaluated the analysis method of a sampled data with numerical simulation in order to calculate phase shift due to the plasma density. A 3000 order FIR filter could successfully separate a sample signal with various frequencies into a signal with a single frequency when S/N is not critical.
