Thanks to billions in pork barrel dollars from the Department of Energy, the State of Michigan and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Holtec International, a company that has never built or operated a nuclear reactor is now rebuilding one without Nuclear Reactor Commission approval. Alan Blind, the former Design Engineering Manager at the Palisades Nuclear Reactor near South Haven, Michigan, explains how Holtec is evading the licensing requirements and many of the safety regulations required of every other nuclear power plant in the country. Even worse none of the NRC inspectors are on site as the construction work continues at a rapid pace.
He explains why billions in federal and state grants, loans and subsidies would be far better spent on much less expensive alternatives such as wind, solar and hydro. Residents living adjacent to the Palisades reactor have filed a petition with Blind’s assistance to block Holtec’s restart that is happening without NRC approval.
