“Palisades Power Plant was shut down permanently by Entergy on May 20, 2022, after providing safe and reliable electricity to southwest Michigan for more than 50 years. In June of 2022, Palisades was purchased by Holtec International for purposes of a safe and timely decommissioning of the site.”

This quote is from the website of Holtec, a private “decomissioning” firm which now is attempting to restart the 50 year-old failed powerplant with a $2.5 billion government bailout, according to Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear. His recent press release “Scheme at Palisades “Zombie” Atomic Reactor” discusses the issues and those opposing this dangerous proposition.
