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.

Thermohydraulic behavior of electrically conducting turbulent flow in a pipe with full-length twisted tape insertion under magnetic field is investigated numerically. When the magnetic field is applied to a normal turbulent pipe flow, velocity fluctuation is damped and heat transfer performance is decreased. As for the turbulent pipe flow with a twisted tape, however, decrease in Nusselt number due to the applied magnetic field is less than that in the normal pipe, because the helical flow structure made by the twisted tape is hardly suppressed under the magnetic field. Therefore, it can be concluded that the twisted tape is effective scheme for heat transfer enhancement under the magnetic field.
