Holtec announces new fuel arrival ahead of Palisades restart
Palisades nuclear power plant has received its first fuel shipment, a key step ahead of its highly anticipated restart by the end of the year.
Located in Covert Township, Mich., Palisades will be the first U.S. nuclear facility to restart after being slated for decommissioning. The Crane Clean Energy Center, formerly Three Mile Island-1, is the next decommissioned nuclear reactor to be resurrected, with an expected restart by 2027.

Recently developed methods for separation and analysis of radioactive fission gases have been applied to obtain data for an off-gas system of an in-pile loop. A separate in-pile test facility was designed to provide a gas transport stream having fission products having concentrations simulating those anticipated in the off-gas system. Characterization of the radioactivities in this facility provided necessary pre-operational information and specifications for operational and analytical procedures for the off-gas system test.
