The federal government will provide a $1.5 billion loan to restart a nuclear
power plant in southwestern Michigan, officials announced Wednesday.
周三美國聯邦政府宣布將提供$15億貸款於密西根周重啟核電廠
Holtec International acquired the 800-megawatt Palisades plant in 2022 with
plans to dismantle it. But now the emphasis is on restarting it by late 2025,
following support from the state of Michigan and the Biden administration.
電力公司於2022 原本計畫拆除核電廠，但現在接受拜登政府與州政府補助預計2025重啟。
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said it would be the first nuclear power plant to be
reopened in the U.S. It still faces hurdles, including inspections, testing
and the blessing of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, known as the NRC.
州長說，此電廠將會是美國首座重啟的核電廠。此計畫將會受到嚴格驗收測試與美國
聯邦核電委員會的檢視。
"Nuclear power is our single largest source of carbon-free electricity,
directly supporting 100,000 jobs across the country and hundreds of thousands
more indirectly," said Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, a former Michigan
governor.
前密西根州長現任能源秘書長說＂核電是單一最大無碳電力來源，且支持10萬個直接工
作機會與更多的間接工作＂。
The Palisades plant is along Lake Michigan, a two-hour drive from Chicago. A
Michigan utility, CMS Energy, owned it from 1971 until the plant was sold to
Louisiana-based utility Entergy in 2007. It was shut down in 2022.
核電廠坐落於密西根湖旁，距離芝加哥兩小時距離。2007賣給現在的公司但閒置至今。
Holtec said it has long-term commitments so far from two electric
cooperatives to buy power from the plant.
"The repowering of Palisades will restore safe, around-the-clock generation
to hundreds of thousands of households, businesses and manufacturers," said
Kris Singh, Holtec president and chief executive.
重啟電廠將提供安全，不間斷供電給無數家庭企業與工廠。
Critics, however, have emerged. A coalition opposed to restarting what it
derisively calls a "zombie reactor" has requested a hearing at the NRC.
反對者要求美國核電協會舉辦公聽會
Holtec spokesman Patrick O'Brien said it will take four to five months to
finalize the financial deal with the government.
公司稱接下來需要四到五個月完成與政府的金融計畫。
