In the USA, for the first time, two energy companies are planning to restart previously shut-down nuclear power plants.
This initiative is designed to meet the country’s growing demand for electricity, while optimizing costs and time compared with building new facilities.
Constellation Energy announces plans to return a reactor at the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania to service by 2028.
This site is known for the 1979 nuclear incident, the most serious in American history, but the reactor in question was not involved in that event.
At the same time, Holtec is working to reactivate the Palisades plant in Michigan, with the aim of restarting it by the end of 2025.
