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/PDX, divertor simulation studies have been started as a new research plan by using end-loss plasma flux at the end-mirror region. A divertor simulation experimental module (D-module) was installed in the west end-cell. Here we introduce a novel microwave interferometer system with a phase imaging method, and all the crucial components are designed and tested. Finally, we tested the interferometer system using a Teflon plate in substitution for plasma. In order to improve the system accuracy, the phase detection circuit was modified and the phase difference of each channel was verified.
