This post from homestate media Mlive is much more encouraging or should I say less dramatic than the post I asked this community about when the rod fell. That previous article made it seem like we were about to have a catastrophic melt down. This article basically says the dropped rod was recovered, everything went well, and fuel loading will resume soon. Always interested to hear from this community as I don't know much about nuclear energy.

For those following, this is the Palisades reactor on Michigan's west coast (two hours from Chicago). This reactor was bought by Holtec from Entergy and was to be decommissioned. But with a $1.5B loan from the US Govt, they're planning on restarting it. Original restart was planned for 2025 so should be close with this hurdle out of the way.

I launched my Substack today — called The Reactor — and wrote the first essay on Calder Hall. Thought you folk might enjoy reading it.
