NRC Will Hold Public Meeting April 23 to Discuss Potential Restart of Palisades Nuclear Plant
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a hybrid public meeting April 23 at 5 p.m. Eastern time that will include the agency’s update on the Palisades Restart Panel’s activities.
The meeting will be held at the Grand Upton Hall, Lake Michigan College, 2755 E. Napier Ave., in Benton Harbor. The meeting agenda and details for attending remotely can be found in the meeting notice.
Palisades permanently ceased operations in May 2022. In early 2023, Holtec International, the Palisades license holder, notified the NRC of its 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 can be safely returned to operation.
The meeting will begin with an open house followed by presentations and a question-and comment-session for attendees to engage with panel members. In-person attendees will be given priority to speak. Additional information on a potential Palisades restart can be found on the NRC's website.
