Electric power producer and distributor Entergy Corporation (ETR) Monday issued a statement vouching for the safety of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant following its recent media coverage and the industry topic of pressurized thermal shock and stated that it has the NRC license to operate this facility through 2031.
The company further said that in line with NRC requirements Palisades will conduct periodic reactor vessel inspections and analyze reactor vessel samples during its refueling outage this fall. The company added that it strongly sees these test results to again demonstrate the safety and strength of the Palisades reactor vessel which in turn will enable Entergy to continue operating the Plant through the end of its license in 2031.
Entergy further said it will submit an updated evaluation to the NRC for its review in the spring of 2014.
