NRC is monitoring a tipped fuel assembly at Holtec's Palisades plant in Michigan as the restart effort stalls, keeping a high-profile nuclear return under regulator watch. Nuclear and power underwriters should treat restart campaigns as operational-event risk, not only construction/refurb BI — fuel-handling mishaps during recovery can extend outage and regulatory timelines independently of the original business case. | Source: https://www.thenationalnews.com/future/technology/2026/09/23/palisades-power-plant-nuclear-incident/
