A US official suggests reopening shuttered nuclear power plants in a bid to fight climate change, with the restart of Michigan’s Palisades plant potentially leading to more reopenings. The completion of a second new nuclear reactor in Georgia comes at a high cost, while the nation’s ‘dirtiest coal plant’ in Nevada has been transformed into a clean energy storage facility. Despite delays and cost overruns, the two new units at Plant Vogtle are now operational, marking a resurgence in nuclear energy in the US.

Now that Vogtle Unit 4 is online, there are zero nuclear power plants under construction in the United States, zero pending reactor license applications with the NRC, and zero plans to develop any units at any site where a license has previously been approved.
