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.

Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS together with Nuclear Safety Institute RAS is working on a hybrid system with a neutron source based on the gas-dynamic trap (GDT) and sub-critical blanket for incineration of high-activity long-lived radioactive wastes.This report gives an overview of recent results obtained in collaborative development of modeling tools for the described system. Particularly, DOL code was created for the source plasma parameters calculation, NMC code was applied to model neutron transport processes and NMC+ module was developed for burnup calculations. The codes are shortly described in the article. Validation results are also presented.
