EA-2285: Final Environmental Assessment and Nuclear Regulatory Commission Finding of No Significant Impact for the Palisades Nuclear Plant Reauthorization of Power Operations Project

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO) has issued an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to consider the environmental impacts associated with providing potential financial assistance (a federal loan guarantee) in support of the refueling and resumption of power activities at the Palisades Nuclear Plant (Palisades or PNP), an 800-MW electric nuclear generation station in Covert Township, Michigan. The documents included on the Environmental Compliance webpages have been posted to comply with applicable environmental requirements as part of LPO’s due diligence process for issuing a Department of Energy loan or loan guarantee. With the exception of a Record of Decision, the posting of these documents should not be construed as recommending a decision about the issuance of a loan or loan guarantee.
