The restart of Palisades nuclear plant is now 2 years behind schedule despite the investment of $2 billion of your tax dollars. No nuclear plant in the world has ever opened on time or within budget. Utility scale solar arrays average 2 years from groundbreak to grid. #holtec #nuclearenergy

Nucléaire : 800 M$ pour les Petits Réacteurs Imaginez : vos modèles d’IA tournent 24 h/24, consomment autant d’électricité qu’une ville moyenne et, demain, l’énergie qui les alimente pourrait provenir d’un petit réacteur nucléaire posé à quelques centaines de mètres de vos data centers. Ce n’est plus de la science-fiction. C’est exactement ce que vient d’accélérer le Département de l’Énergie américain en débloquant […] The post Nucléaire : 800 M$ pour les Petits Réacteurs first appeared on MondeTech.fr.

"...Palisades had, in the years before its shutdown, consistently failed to address safety hazards involving fire risks, seismic vulnerabilities, and the deterioration of critical cooling system insulation."

How Holtec International became an expanding (and controversial) nuclear power The firm's history of overpromising and underdelivery raises a question: Is this who we should trust with the future of nuclear energy?

🚨 JUST IN: Since it started as a producer of nuclear waste storage canisters, #Holtec has built an empire around mothballed nuclear power plants and incomplete nuclear initiatives. The firm's history of overpromising and underdelivery raises the question of whether to trust it this time.

"Ep 397: Brian Vangor - Author, Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant"

https://www.lastenergy.com/titansofnuclear/experts/brianvangor

Excerpt:

"Sarah Howorth [00:12:40] Yeah, that sounds like a special experience, though, for sure. And then, switching gears a little bit, was Indian Point built on or near Indigenous land?
Brian Vangor [00:12:51] Well, we do know that there were Native American tribes to the north in Peekskill and to the south in Ossining. So, Indian Point is a made up name. Real quickly, the history before Indian Point Park was the Hudson River Day Line Company, which was the major steamship company from 1861 all the way up until the mid-1900s, 1971, in fact... By the 1920s, they were having a problem competing with nearby Bear Mountain, which was a very popular place to go. So hundreds, if not thousands of people would get on the boats every morning in New York City, come up the Hudson River. Everybody would get off at Bear Mountain and the boats would go up the rest the river empty.
Brian Vangor [00:13:37] By the 1920s, they were trying to figure out a way to remediate that. So, they bought 320 acres south of Peekskill, right on the Hudson River, and they figured out, "Let's come up with a name that's really attractive to the younger passengers. We've got Bear Mountain. Let's make this Indian Point." Sounds pretty cool, but as far as tribes nearby, north and south of us, not where we are.
Sarah Howorth [00:14:05] Okay, gotcha. I was just curious if there was a relationship fostered with Indigenous people in the area or if they had a say in how the land was being used or the fact that a plant would be constructed. But it seems like they maybe weren't close enough to that area?
Brian Vangor [00:14:23] No, they weren't. And again, it was strictly a fabricated name."

Colonialism at its finest?
Pollute native land by uranium mining
Use their name
Kill fish & pollute the river
Ship waste back and bury it there

NRC approves Holtec’s request to restart Michigan nuclear plant (Reuters) -The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved a series of requests from Holtec International that lay the groundwork to restart the Palisades nuclear power plant in Michigan, the agency and company said on Thursday. The approvals will allow Holtec to load fuel, but the company will need further approvals before the plant, which ceased operations under a different proprietor in May 2022, can start back up, they said in separate statements. Holtec is restarting the decommissioned 800-megawatt Palisades plant and plans to install two small modular reactors (SMRs), based on existing light water reactor (LWR) technology, at the same facility. In a partnership with Hyundai Engineering & Construction (KS:000720), Holtec plans to build 10 gigawatts of SMRs in North America through the 2030s, starting at Palisades. Holtec bought the plant to decommission it, but now hopes to reopen it - the first U.S. commercial reactor to restart after ceasing operations - amid rising U.S. power demand driven by data centers and artificial intelligence growth. "Once returned to service, Palisades will generate more than 800 megawatts of safe, reliable, and carbon-free baseload power – enough to power more than 800,000 households... enhance grid reliability and help meet growing energy demand in Michigan and beyond," Holtec said. It did not give a start-up date. In March, Holtec said it wants to reopen the plant in the fourth quarter of 2025. "While these NRC approvals will allow Holtec to load fuel, there are still several licensing actions under NRC review and additional requirements that need to be met before the plant can start up under the original operating license, which would expire March 24, 2031," the NRC said. The NRC has transferred PNP’s operating authority from Holtec Decommissioning International to Palisades Energy LLC and reinstated key documents, including emergency and security plans, maintenance and inspection programs.

⚛️ U.S. #nuclear is making a comeback.

DOE just gave $46.7M to #Holtec to restart #Palisades — the first reactor revival ever.

Bellefonte and even Three Mile Island are back in the conversation too.

Old plants aren’t dead weight anymore — they’re strategic assets. 🔋🏗️

Thanks to millions of taxpayer dollars sent to shareholders, #Holtec is more than happy to reopen the Palisades plant in #Michigan - after it's been shut down for years.

Shoreline nuclear plant could get ok to reopen in 2025 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has said it will make a final decision by the end of July on whether to approve reopening the Palisades nuclear plant.

#Holtec International’s #Palisades #nuclear plant has been seeking regulatory approval to reopen. The Biden admin pledged $2 billion in loans to help the restart, and the state of #Michigan has offered $150 million more.

But not all residents are on board.
