Michigan is making history with the Palisades nuclear restart, the first U.S. reactor to come back after permanent shutdown. The state has ambitious 100% clean energy goals by 2040. Holtec plans to build SMR-300 reactors at the Palisades site, potentially making Michigan a hub for advanced nuclear.
