Case Study: Restarting Duane Arnold: Delivery Lessons from a Second US Plant Restart
9:15 am - Wednesday 20th January 2027
- Walking the Duane Arnold restart: refurbishment scope, NRC re-authorization and the milestones to a targeted 2029 return to service
- Comparing a BWR restart with the Crane case just heard, and what actually transfers between restart projects
- Re-mobilizing the workforce, supply chain and long-lead parts, and how a data-center PPA and DOE loan underpin the build
Practical Takeaway: Leave with a second, side-by-side restart case: the refurbishment, licensing and financing moves that bring a shut-down plant back, and which of them repeat across restarts.
