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.

This paper shows that the design improvement of the ECH antenna system for high efficient heating of GAMMA 10 tandem mirror plasma. The previous ECH antenna was not large enough to cover the microwave because it was limited by the port size. New antenna system clears this limit and is enlarged as large as possible. And its size becomes twice, which enables to inject the microwave with the efficiency up to 95%. It is about 20% increase as compared with the previous system.
