This podcast focuses on the unprecedented plan to restart the dangerously obsolete and severely age-degraded Palisades nuclear reactor on the Lake Michigan shoreline near South Haven. In the face of decade long delays, billions in cost overruns and dozens of cancellations, the nuclear power industry is promoting this insanely expensive, high-risk $8.3 billion pilot project. Against all odds, utilities see a Palisades restart as the way to quickly bring failed and shuttered nuclear reactors around the world back from the dead. Holtec International, the company that wants to restart Palisades, has never operated a nuclear reactor.
