NRC issues Palisades’ final environmental assessment of no significant findings
The Palisades nulear power plant received a final “clean bill” of environmental assessment impact from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission today.
The NRC’s staff EA and conclusion of no significant environmental impact for the Covert, Mich., plant, which plans to restart after operations were halted three years ago this month due to economic hardships in the energy market.

A new helical axis stellarator called Helias-Heliac Hybrid Stellarator(HHHS) is based on the modulated l = 1 helical coil. In order to obtain Helias-like and Heliac-like configurations, toroidal coils, poloidal coils and an additional l = 1 helical coil are adjusted to control magnetic field spectrum. It is shown that the bumpy field with opposite sign to l = 1 helical field is essential to minimize the neoclassical ripple transport. An HHHS configuration with sufficient magnetic well and reduced neoclassical ripple transport is demonstrated.
