The Palisades nuclear power plant in Covert, Michigan, could face major obstacles in its attempt to restart.
Closed in 2022 after more than fifty years in service, the plant is now under the management of Holtec International, which plans to reactivate it within a year thanks to a conditional $1.52 billion loan from the US government.
However, significant concerns about the site’s safety are being raised by Alan Blind, the plant’s former engineering manager.
