Palisades Nuclear Plant

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Palisades may restart as soon as the end of the November during a visit to the plant in Covert Township this week.

Some nearby residents argued retrieving the fuel assembly at the Palisades nuclear plant brought unnecessary risk. Holtec International says the work was "error-free".

The United States is making an unprecedented attempt to revive three shuttered nuclear plants to meet growing demand, especially from data centers. That includes one in Michigan.

Federal regulators approved an emergency plan to move a tipped nuclear fuel assembly at Michigan's Palisades plant, allowing restart activities to move forward.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said the violations were of "very low safety significance" but the company said it's taking the problem seriously.

This latest step brings the Southwest Michigan nuclear power plant one step closer to a historic restart.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has begun reviewing a proposal to build two new small modular reactors at the Palisades nuclear plant complex in Van Buren County.

A federal district judge dismissed the case, ruling that only a U.S. Court of Appeals can review the sort of decisions in question at the west Michigan nuclear power plant.

Holtec International is trying to bring the Palisades nuclear energy plant back online, but first it has to prove to regulators that welding work done at the plant was done correctly.

Holtec International initially planned to restart the reactor by the end of last year.
