stock here, in a totally absurd move, the Demolition Contractor that bought the Palisades to scrap it….is now trying to restart the plant, even though they have no skill in such an event. Especially a run down Mark 1 plant, that was slum lorded into it final years. It was not “Wet Setup” to mitigate damage for a potential restart, and the drive turbine was not set into “slow turn” to prevent flat spots and shaft bend, on this 100′ long 1 Million pound component.
Arnie is the chief consultant, and his testimony is credible and easy to understand. Check it out.

- The NRC licensed the Palisades reactor to operate until 2031, despite Palisades
having been approved long ago by the old AEC and not meeting current operational,
metallurgical, or electrical standards. Palisades was closed in 2022 and sold for scrap
before its 2031 license extension expired. Entergy, its owner at the time, determined
there would be no profit to its corporation if it completed the required safety and
operational improvements to the facility.
Some of you may remember “loosenuke” coined as a nukist….
