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 report the controllable generation of double emulsions for target fabrication using glass capillary microfluidic devices. Instead of a conventional triple-orifice droplet generator, user-friendly glass capillary devices are used to produce micrometer to millimeter-sized water-in-oil-in-water emulsions. The double emulsions have a relatively uniform size distribution with an average outer diameter of 1420 μm. The sizes of the emulsions can also be varied by changing the ratio of the inner, middle, and outer fluids. Increasing the flow rate ratio of the outer fluid to the other fluids [Qo/(Qm+Qi)] from 3 to 11, the outer radii of the emulsions decrease from 1120 to 950 μm. On the other hand, increasing the flow rate ratio of the middle fluid to the inner fluid (Qm/Qi) from 0.7 to 1.6, the aspect ratio of the emulsions increases from 4 to 8. Our experimental values are in good agreement with a simple theoretical model. These results suggest that our present method to control the generation of double emulsions can be used as an alternative approach to fabricate polystyrene targets for future laser fusion experiments.
