RIC session addresses reactor restarts—and lessons learned at Palisades
At last week’s Regulatory Information Conference, Jamie Pelton cochaired a panel on the Palisades nuclear plant’s restart—a “historic restart,” as she put it.
Her choice of words was perhaps an understatement. After all, no U.S. nuclear plant has yet restarted after being slated for decommissioning.
