BENTON TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is inspecting the Palisades nuclear power plant in Covert Township near South Haven to ensure when it restarts it will be safe.
The NRC held a forum last night at Lake Michigan College in Benton Township about the work in front of them as Holtec is trying to become the first nuclear power plant owner in the world to restart a plant that had been shut down.
That’s the NRC’s Jack Giessner, the Region 3 administrator and a member of the commission’s restart team.
They say since the plant stopped making power in May 2022, there are pumps that haven’t been used for nearly two years.
Jim Zerbi lives near the Palisades nuclear plant and does not want it restarted.
The goal is to restart the plant in August 2025, but the NRC says if they find issues, it will take longer.
