Lemma 54.5.2. In Definition 54.5.1 if X is Nagata, then the normalized blowing up of X at x is normal, Nagata, and proper over X.
Proof. The blowup morphism X' \to X is proper (as X is locally Noetherian we may apply Divisors, Lemma 31.32.13). Thus X' is Nagata (Morphisms, Lemma 29.18.1). Therefore the normalization X'' \to X' is finite (Morphisms, Lemma 29.54.11) and we conclude that X'' \to X is proper as well (Morphisms, Lemmas 29.44.11 and 29.41.4). It follows that the normalized blowing up is a normal (Morphisms, Lemma 29.54.5) Nagata algebraic space. \square
