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 three-dimensional liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic (LMMHD) flow in a manifold with three subchannels under a uniform magnetic field has been examined based on the computational fluid dynamics method. Although numerous analytic, experimental, and numerical studies on LMMHD duct flows have been performed, detailed flow characteristics of a LMMHD flow in a manifold with multiple channels have not been studied much. In the current study detailed behaviors of the fluid velocity, pressure, current, and electric potential of LMMHD flows in a manifold with three subchannels under a uniform magnetic field are elucidated. Also, an imbalance of mass flow rates in the three subchannels is addressed.
