COVERT TOWNSHIP (WOOD-AM) - Holtec is a step closer to restarting the Palisades nuclear power plant.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the company's operating license status application, letting them bring in fuel and get plant operators back on shift.
The NRC says Palisades still has to meet additional requirements before the actual restart can happen, which is expected by the end of this year.
Palisades shut down in 2022 and was initially sold to Holtec for decommissioning.
