COVERT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WSBT) — The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant is entering its final phase towards reopening.

According to a Holtec spokesperson, crews are finishing maintenance activities and returning systems and equipment to an operational-ready state.

That spokesperson said there is no firm restart date because the timeline is driven by testing and inspections to meet federal and industry standards.

We had reported that Holtec had planned to reopen the plant by the end of last year.

Once that happens, it will be the first nuclear power plant in the US to reopen after being shut down.
