PALISADES TRANSFER TO HOLTEC: Coalition warns about decommissioning risks

For decades, an environmental coalition has warned about the risks of operations at Palisades, on southwest Michigan's Lake Michigan shoreline. This week, the coalition, including Beyond Nuclear, warned Michiganders about the risks of license transfer to Holtec for decommissioning and highly radioactive waste management there. Holtec has many skeletons in its closet, as does its decommissioning consortium partner, SNC-Lavalin. See Beyond Nuclear's letter to MI Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Attached were our new fact sheet about decommissioning, and backgrounder on decommissioning trust funds, as well as cautionary tales from Indian Point's proposed transfer to Holtec in New York. See the coalition press release.
