Prema Chandrathil, 630-829-9663 Viktoria Mitlyng 630-829-9662 NRC Will Hold Public Meeting April 17 To Discuss Potential Restart of Palisades Nuclear Plant NRC will hold a hybrid public meeting to discuss the NRCs Palisades Nuclear Plant Restart Panels activities to independently assess the plants readiness to potentially resume operation in a way that ensures public health and safety.
The meeting will be held at the Grand Upton Hall, Lake Michigan College, 2755 E. Napier Ave., in Benton Harbor. The information for attending virtually or by phone can be found in this meeting notice.
Palisades permanently ceased operations in May 2022. In early 2023, Holtec International, the Palisades license holder, expressed interest in returning the plant to an operational status. The NRC created the Palisades restart panel to guide staff efforts to review, inspect, and determine if Palisades could be safely returned to operation.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the restart panels licensing reviews, inspection activities and environmental review pertaining to the potential restart. Members of the restart panel will discuss the NRCs review process and offer an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and make comments related to the presentation.
Additional information on a potential Palisades restart can be found on the NRC's website.
