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.

A new high-speed camera (MEMRECAM GX-1, NAC Inc.) has been installed at the GAMMA 10 central-cell. This camera observes two directions through vertical and horizontal ports by using dual optical fiber bundles. This paper describes the results of 2-D image of visible emission observed from the central-cell plasma during Supersonic Molecular Beam injection (SMBI) in the C-ECRH experiments. Observational results showed that the instability of plasma light-emission on the central-limiter was suppressed during SMBI and the plasma sustainability increased along the SMBI plenum pressure. Relationship between plasma sustainability and power of C-ECRH and/or the quantity of SMBI is also investigated.
