Holtec: Criminality, Corruption, Incompetence, and Inexperience.

Below, brief introduction to the 2-page explanation at https://beyondnuclear.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2-29-24-Holtec-two-pager.pdf

On June 16, an environmental coalition, including Beyond Nuclear, submitted an intervention petition against Holtec’s BAND-AID fixes on Michigan’s Palisades atomic reactor’s severe steam generator tube degradation, a pathway to catastrophic core meltdown. The generators have needed to be replaced for two decades, but Holtec’s two-year neglect of basic safety maintenance — a rookie error, by a company that has never operated a reactor — has made it dangerously worse. On June 18, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against our side, regarding highly radioactive waste dumps in Texas (ISP’s) and New Mexico (Holtec’s). But now, we can pursue our Holtec dump appeal in the D.C. Circuit. TX and NM state laws also stand in the way of the dumps.
