Quick Glance: Reviving a Decommissioned Nuclear Plant
- With a financial support of $1.52 billion from the US Department of Energy, an inactive nuclear power plant in Michigan may receive a new opportunity. If successful, this would mark the first instance of a closed nuclear power plant reopening in the US.
- After 50 years of operation, the Palisades nuclear power plant was decommissioned in 2022. The process of reopening presents technical, administrative, and regulatory challenges. However, the new owners have been working on the plans for years, which facilitates the potential restart.
- Securing funding and approvals is crucial for the revival of the nuclear power plant. State support and a substantial federal loan are intended to cover the necessary repairs and upgrades. Yet, regulatory approval remains a significant hurdle in the reopening process.
- In the event of approval, Palisades aims to operate until at least 2051. The growing support for nuclear energy and increased financing make older facilities more profitable. Nevertheless, a wave of reopenings for other decommissioned nuclear plants in the US is unlikely.

Quick Glance: Germany Abandons Nuclear Power, Capping a Decade-Long Struggle
- Germany's three remaining reactors will be turned down by Saturday, effectively putting an end to nuclear power generation in Europe's largest economy.
- Nuclear power has long been a source of contention in German politics.
- It emphasized the importance of nuclear power in the development of carbon-free synthetic fuels known as green hydrogen.
- However, climate and energy experts believe that Germany's nuclear shutdown would result in just a minor, temporary rise in carbon emissions, which will be offset in the coming years by increases in solar and wind power.
- "Nuclear power plants were never designed for such a situation."
