COVERT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Friday it will continue extra inspections of the Palisades nuclear power plant in southwestern Michigan despite concluding the plant has been taking care of safety problems plaguing the facility.
Regulators said in a report stemming from an 11-day inspection in September that the plant in Van Buren County’s Covert Township has “adequately addressed” problems identified last year. But additional oversight is needed to ensure that the remaining corrective actions are properly carried out, and leaks that occurred this year are fully understood so they don’t lead to additional safety problems, it said.
