Palisades Nuclear Plant

Operating status means the plant is allowed to receive new nuclear fuel. It is not yet generating power. It is the first nuclear plant in the U.S. to ever return to operations after going into decommissioning status.

Operators can now load fuel into the Palisades Nuclear Plant's reactor, though its owner still needs to pass more regulatory hurdles before it can come back online.

The owner of a shut-down nuclear power plant in southwest Michigan could try to bring it back online by the end of the year.

Holtec International has reported spending millions from its decommissioning trust fund for the nuclear plant on Lake Michigan. But decommissioning is no longer the plan.

Hundreds of workers are busy trying to make the Palisades nuclear plant the first decommissioned plant in the U.S. to ever come back online.

The groups want the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to reconsider its approach to approving a historic restart of the Palisades nuclear plant near South Haven.

Holtec wants to install the nation's first small nuclear reactors at the Palisades plant in Southwest Michigan, but first it would have to win regulatory approval.

The owner of Palisades says the operating license for the plant is still valid. Others argued Holtec is missing key information that would be required if it sought a new license.

Holtec International wants the Palisades nuclear plant in Southwest Michigan to be the first shuttered nuclear plant to ever reopen in the U.S. But federal requlators Tuesday questioned their timeline for bringing the plant back online.
