The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has decided to grant an exemption to Constellation Energy Generation that will allow the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station to load six specific canisters with spent nuclear fuel starting in May 2025. This exemption lets them use certain equipment despite not meeting some specific requirements normally necessary for this process. The NRC evaluated the environmental impacts and found that approving this exemption will not lead to significant environmental changes, meaning it won't harm the environment or public health. This decision is supported by a "Finding of No Significant Impact" (FONSI), indicating that a more detailed environmental impact statement is unnecessary.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is requesting public comments on a draft environmental assessment and a draft finding of no significant impact related to resuming power operations at the Palisades Nuclear Plant in Michigan. This includes considering requests for exemption, license transfer, and amendments. The U.S. Department of Energy, as a cooperating agency, is also evaluating federal financial support for refueling the plant. The NRC's preliminary assessment indicates that the actions would not significantly impact the environment, and comments are accepted until March 3, 2025.
