WUWM 89.7 FM | By Chuck Quirmbach Published January 10, 2025"This year could be a big year for the status of two nuclear power plants around Lake Michigan."That includes a shutdown plant just 120 miles east of Kenosha that is seeking a first-of-its-kind restart."The year could also be significant for extending the life of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wisconsin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wisconsin</a>'s only working commercial plant, located 95 miles north of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Milwaukee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Milwaukee</a>."On the west shore of Lake Michigan, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NextEraEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextEraEnergy</a> says it still wants a 20-year extension for the two reactors at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PointBeachNuclearPowerPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PointBeachNuclearPowerPlant</a>, located north of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TwoRivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TwoRivers</a>, which would keep the site operating until the early 2050s."If that plan sounds familiar, it’s because <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WUWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WUWM</a> has been reporting on the proposal for about four years. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NRC</a>) approval is still pending."In a written statement this month, Florida-based <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NextEra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextEra</a> said it has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Point Beach, 'ensuring it’s ready to produce energy for decades to come.' The company says the plant powers nearly 1 million homes and businesses and provides about 14% of Wisconsin’s electricity."But nuclear power critics, like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KevinKamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KevinKamps</a> of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeyondNuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeyondNuclear</a>, say there are concerns that key parts of the power production units are too <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/brittle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brittle</a> to last another 20-plus years. He says there’s an alternative."'Point Beach’s electricity could easily be replaced through the expansion of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RenewableEnergy</a> in Wisconsin. It’s ready to go. It would be more effective for the people of Wisconsin. It would certainly be much safer,' Kamps says."On the east shore of the lake, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PalisadesNuclearPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PalisadesNuclearPlant</a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CovertTownship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CovertTownship</a>, Michigan, shut down nearly three years ago. But at the urging of some federal, state, and local officials, the Biden administration has provided a $1.5 billion loan to Holtec International, which bought the mothballed plant from the utility Entergy, so Holtec can try to restart Palisades.[...]"A key concern appears to be the damaged steam generator tubes at Palisades, which are likely to need repair or replacement. On Jan. 14, Holtec and the NRC are scheduled to discuss the matter."The NRC says Holtec will have to prove the plant is safe."Incoming President Donald Trump has made conflicting statements about nuclear power, so it’s unclear if he will try to get the NRC to favor either of the Lake Michigan plants."<a href="https://www.wuwm.com/environment/2025-01-10/a-tale-of-two-nuclear-power-plants-along-lake-michigan-extended-life-and-a-revival" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wuwm.com/environment/2025-01-10/a-tale-of-two-nuclear-power-plants-along-lake-michigan-extended-life-and-a-revival</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoNukes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukesForAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoNukesForAI</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RethinkNotRestart</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HoltecLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HoltecLies</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RenewablesNow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AgingNuclearPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AgingNuclearPlants</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearSafety</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearWaste</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearIsNotCarbonFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearIsNotCarbonFree</a>
