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.

Multi-component adsorption isotherm is determined experimentally when He, H2 (or D2) and CH4 are adsorbed on activated carbon (AC) plated on a cryopanel cooled at cryogenic temperature and desorbed at room one. It is correlated to the Langmuir-Freundlich-type one. The equilibrium isotherms for their respective single-component adsorption processes are correlated in terms of the Langmuir-Freundlich-type ones, and the isotherm when the three components of He, H2 and CH4 are adsorbed at the same time is correlated in terms of a naturally-extended multi-component one without any changes in the original constants included in the single-component one. Rates of the isotopic exchange reaction of D atom between CH4 and D2 on AC between 10 K and room temperature are also determined. After eliminating the effects of natural isotope of 13C included in CH3D, CH2D2, CHD3, CD4 on mass-spectrometric measurements, it was found that the isotopic exchange rate of CH4 + D2 = CH3D +HD and so on was found to be so late that any detectable effect was not observed.
