The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a safety warning to Holtec International, the company racing to reopen the Palisades nuclear power plant in Michigan, after a contractor fell into a reactor cavity and a bundle of fuel rods nearly tipped over during refuelling. The warning highlights concerns that political and financial pressures to revive nuclear power for AI-driven energy demand may be compromising safety.
