After intense NRC scrutiny that confirmed the plant is safe to operate, the Palisades nuclear power plant in Michigan restarted yesterday after more than a month shutdown.

In total 10 NRC inspectors performed a wide range of inspections to ensure the leak in a refueling water tank, the reason for the shutdown, was fixed.

Entergy employees identified a leak from the tank on May 5.The leak exceeded the level Entergy had committed to the NRC, which required the plant to shut down to ensure structural integrity of the tank...

So from May 6 to today is about 41 days...plus another month of shutdown...

Isn't that pathetic with all that work they can't guarantee no more leaks...

If small leaks are discovered we expect Entergy to evaluate them according to the NRC’s rules, and take appropriate action

 

 43 days!
