Despite this surge in support — and rising demand for new sources of firm, carbon-free electricity — the best the domestic nuclear industry can muster right now is not a cutting-edge new design or technological advancement. It’s a backward-looking effort to reanimate deteriorated old stock, abetted by billions in government subsidies.
We’ll soon find out if nuclear vendors will overpromise and underdeliver on this new approach too. The clock is ticking on Holtec’s pledge of getting Palisades restored and connected to the grid by the end of next year.
