Summary
The Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan is aiming to become the first reactor in the U.S. to restart operations after permanently closing. The restart project faces challenges due to significant repairs needed for the steam generator tubes. The project is backed by government funding but is facing skepticism from regulators. The potential risks of tube ruptures are highlighted by a past incident at the Indian Point nuclear plant. The success of the Palisades restart could impact the future of the nuclear industry in the U.S.
