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.
Innovations Student Competition
December 12, 2023|1:00–2:00PM (2:00–3:00PM EST)
Available to All Users
The Innovations in Nuclear Energy Research & Development Student Competition (INSC) recognizes published graduate and undergraduate students. Through the award process, the INSC provides winning students with opportunities to present their published work to the broader nuclear energy community. This webinar serves as an opportunity for students who were unable to present at the ANS Winter Conference to show their work to a wider audience.
This webinar features two students with published work in the nuclear fuel cycle technologies area. Claire Griesbach from the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present “Microstructural heterogeneity of the buffer layer of TRISO nuclear fuel particles” and Kyle Quillin from the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present “Microstructural and nanomechanical studies of PVD Cr coatings on SiC for LWR fuel cladding applications.”
The session will be moderated by Tyler Newitt, Innovative Nuclear Research Integration Office (INR-IO).
