NRC Identifies Safety Culture Concerns at Palisades Nuclear Plant

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a report concluding that employees within the supply chain and quality assurance departments at the Palisades nuclear plant might be hesitant to voice safety concerns through official channels, fearing reprisal. This report, published on Tuesday, details findings from a July inspection of the facility located in Covert, Michigan. The Palisades plant is currently working towards becoming the first nuclear power plant in the United States to resume operations after a period of shutdown.

Inspectors identified "possible concerns with the safety-conscious work environment (SCWE)" at the plant. The NRC communicated its follow-up letter and the full report to Fadi Diya, Holtec’s senior vice president and chief nuclear officer, on October 13.
