⚡Environmental Assessment for Palisades Nuclear Plant Resumption
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), as the lead agency, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Loan Programs Office (LPO), as a cooperating agency, are issuing an environmental assessment (EA) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI) evaluating the environmental impacts from proposed Federal actions related to reauthorizing power operations at the Palisades Nuclear Plant (Palisades). Specifically, the NRC is considering an exemption request, a license transfer request, and license amendment requests (LARs) that, if approved, would collectively support reauthorizing power operations, and refueling of the reactor under the existing Palisades Renewed Facility Operating License (RFOL) No. DPR-20. DOE LPO's proposed action is to provide Federal financial support (a loan guarantee) to support refueling and resumption of power generation activities at Palisades.
