Lawsuit filed to stop Palisades Nuclear Power Plant restart

WSBT · last updated

COVERT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WSBT) — A lawsuit seeking to stop the restart of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant has been filed in federal court.

According to Don’t Waste Michigan’s Michael Keegan, his group has teamed up with Beyond Nuclear and Michigan Safe Energy Future to first seek a preliminary injunction and then a permanent injunction against the project.

They’re arguing the restart is a violation of the Atomic Energy Act due to how the Palisades license is being handled.

According to Keegan, a process like this has never been followed, and his group believes it’s illegal.

This is the first federal court action Palisades opponents have pursued after several attempts at intervention with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
