The DOE Loan Programs Office issued this Record of Decision on July 26, 2024, announcing its decision to issue a loan guarantee under the Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment Program to Holtec Palisades, LLC for general restoration and maintenance activities at the 800-MW Palisades Nuclear Plant in Covert Township, Van Buren County, Michigan. The NEPA basis is DOE/EIS-0562, which adopted the NRC's 2006 Final SEIS. Two alternatives were considered: issuing the loan guarantee (selected) or no action. The ROD covers only restoration and maintenance; a separate NRC environmental review, with DOE as cooperating agency, must be completed before any loan guarantee for refueling and repowering can be issued.12
