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 GAMMA 10, Alfvén-ion-cyclotron (AIC) waves are spontaneously excited because of the perpendicular ions heating with ion cyclotron range of frequency waves. High-energy ions are transported to axial direction with pitch angle scattering owing to the AIC waves. In the high-energy ion signal detected with a semiconductor detector, the fluctuations with the differential frequencies between discrete peaks of the AIC waves are clearly observed. Recently, a microwave reflectometer detected the AIC mode in the anchor cell. The high-energy ions signal in the axial direction also increases when the AIC mode is excited.
