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.

We analyze requirements on the particle throughput inside the torus, posed by the different physics processes during the DEMO inductive operation needed for tritium plant fuel processing, pumping and fueling systems design. Unlike ITER in DEMO limitations posed by pumping and tritium plant systems are expected to be more moderate because of employing advanced solutions. However, the requirements on the particle throughput posed by plasma processes in DEMO are found to be more demanding and the way of their reduction by bypassing, recycling etc. to be mandatory.
