Will Palisades be the “comeback kid”?
Mike Mlynarek believes in this expression: “In the end it will be OK; and if it’s not OK, it’s not the end.”
As the site vice president at Palisades nuclear power plant in Covert Township, Mich., Mlynarek is overseeing one of the most exciting projects in the United States nuclear power industry. If all goes according to plan, Holtec’s Palisades plant will be splitting atoms once again by the end of 2025 and become the first U.S. nuclear facility to restart after being slated for decommissioning.
