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.

ECRH antenna system for central cell of GAMMA 10 was newly installed. This system was designed to improve the calculated Poynting flux reaching the resonance surface and the beam path. The power transmission efficiency has been improved from about 60 to 70 % and the beam passes the center of the resonance surface. Performance test of this system was carried out with low power and we got the performance that we expected. This system was installed to GAMMA 10 and the initial electron heating result with it has been obtained.
