As a result of storm damage incurred on 10 August 2020, the 622 MW Duane Arnold-1 reactor will not return to service and will instead be permanently closed, the plant’s majority owner, NextEra Energy Resources announced 25 August 2020. It was previously scheduled for closure on 30 October 2020. This is the second reactor closure in the U.S. and the fourth in the world since the beginning of 2020, with Indian Point-2 shuttered in the U.S. and Fessenheim-1 and -2 in France earlier in the year.
