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.

Microfabrication techniques, derived from the semiconductor industry, can be used to make a variety of useful mechanical components for targets. A selection of target components fabricated using deep-etched materials including supporting cooling arms for prototype cryogenic inertial confinement fusion targets, and stepped and graded density targets for materials dynamics experiments is described. Microfabrication enables cost-effective, simultaneous fabrication of multiple high-precision components with complex geometries.
