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 mathematical model is presented for analyzing the flow of magneto-micropolar nanofluid above a convectively heated permeable stretching sheet with nonlinear radiation, chemical reaction, and viscous dissipation. Similarity transformation is utilized to change the governing partial differential equations to the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system of ODEs is sorted out mathematically by utilizing the shooting method with the Adams-Moulton method of fourth order, and the obtained mathematical outcomes are compared with published results. The obtained numerical results reflect very good agreement with those from open literature. Numerical values of physical quantities like skin friction coefficient, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number for emerging parameters such as , etc. are also computed and discussed in this work. The impact of pertinent flow parameters on nondimensional velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles is illustrated via tables and graphs.
