#Palisades power plant will restart. Here's where on the #GreatLakes #NuclearPlants operate

Story by Sarah Moore, Lansing State Journal, 2/27/2025

"Owners of Michigan's Palisades nuclear energy plant this week announced a new five-year program aimed at restarting the power station while adding two smaller, modular reactors to the existing facility.

"Holtec has launched 'Mission 2030,' a program to build America’s first small modular reactors — Holtec’s SMR-300 — at the Palisades site in Covert Township, Michigan, with a target of 2030 for first commercial operation.' Holtec International said in a release. "The new SMR-300s will be co-located with the existing 800-megawatt Palisades plant, which is on track to restart after an extended outage following shutdown in 2022.'

"The program was discussed at a ceremony Feb. 25, at which #Holtec said it has joined forces with #Hyundai Engineering & Construction to build a 10-gigawatt fleet of SMR-300s in North America, the release said.

"Nuclear energy production is seeing growing interest for power generation because it requires no fossil fuels and can help reduce greenhouse gases. The systems, however, generate tons of highly #RadioactiveWaste that has to be stored. In #Michigan, waste is stored within a short distance of the #GreatLakes in some locations."

Officials raced to prepare for possible debris flows in areas burned during the January fires

as a strong storm moved into Southern California on Wednesday,

prompting evacuation warnings in burn zones across L.A. County.

These evacuation warnings will be in effect from 7 a.m. Thursday to 2 p.m. Friday
— when the heaviest rain is expected
— in burned areas where the risk of mudslides and debris flows is likely to be the highest,
according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

In the #Pacific #Palisades, this includes the Getty Villa area,
the Highlands neighborhood, the Bienveneda area near Temescal Canyon Park, the Reseda Boulevard and Marinette Road area near Will Rogers State Park, and in Mandeville Canyon above Tanners Road.

Warnings are also in effect around the #Sunset fire burn zone in Runyon Canyon and by the Oakridge Mobile Home Park, which is near the #Hurst fire burn zone in Sylmar.

The Los Angeles Police Department will visit households in the highest-risk areas to issue specific evacuation orders.

Evacuation warnings have yet to be issued for areas in the #Eaton fire burn zone.

For those affected by the #CA #wildfires (or anyone else who simply wants to breathe clean air and/or avoid #COVID), #Flomask is offering 30% off all #N95 mask orders through the end of February.

👉 Use the code CaliStrong30 for 30% off at Flomask.com

Btw Flomask was originally created by a dad who wanted to protect his kids from smoke from a previous California wildfire. There are adult and child sizes available, and they can be individualized with colorful wraps!

Screenshot of an email, starting with a photo of a family on top of Griffith Observatory on Dec. 30, 2024. The text reads: Hi Everyone, My heart has been so heavy since the start of the New Year. Leading up to 2025, my family and I spent the holidays down in Pasadena and the surrounding areas, which have tragically been burned to ashes. Over the past week and a half, our Flo Mask team has been working around the clock to help those impacted by the devastating wildfires around the LA area. Whether that's rushing orders overnight, helping answer concerns with mask effectiveness, or supporting schools and community group buys with our products, our team is rising to the occasion. We're also doing our best to replenish our Amazon store inventory as it's an easy access shop for so many.
As a company born out of the San Francisco Bay Area, as a native Californian, as someone with deep rooted connections to SoCal, the catastrophic LA fires have had a huge impact on me. It's not lost on me that protecting kids from California wildfire smoke through a better mask design was the origin to why I created Flo Mask to begin with. Last night, my wife challenged me to do more despite all that we've done so far. For the overwhelming number of tragic stories that have graced our inbox over the past several days, we have extended a 30% discount. Because what is offering protective masks at cost to us when they've lost everything in the fires. And although you can't sustain a business through discounts, especially a small operation like ours, we're at a point in our journey where we have the means to do more. After careful analysis of our financials and assessment of our inventory levels, I've decided today that we'll offer all customers 30% off any orders from now through the end of February. The goal is to help the tens of thousands impacted by the wildfires that are still on-going without additional burdens of needing to contact our support team.
All I ask in return is that you help spread the word. Please use CaliStrong30 as a discount code for all your orders. Our team is on standby to make sure these orders get out ASAP. Sending lots of hugs and prayers to all my Cali folks down in SoCal. - Kevin Flo Mask 3443 Edward Ave Santa Clara CA 95054 United States

On #SNL last night, #DaveChappelle gave a stirring tribute to Jimmy Carter and to his solidarity with the people of Palestine, and he ended his monologue with a plea to #Trump that was oddly affecting:

"Whether people voted for you or not, they're all counting on you. Please, all of us, do better next time. Don't forget your humanity, & have empathy for displaced people, whether they're in the #Palisades or #Palestine"

I honestly didn’t know Chappelle had it in him 👏

The California wildfires are an example of how quickly you can lose everything. People have lost homes, possessions and some have even lost their lives.

Disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine. Anything that can impact others will likely hit us faster and harder.

When you don’t have your physical health, your resilience is impaired. Surviving pandemics, wildfires and natural disasters becomes much harder.

Why aren’t we factored into emergency planning? If our needs were accounted for, everyone would be better off.

My latest article looks at how we can (and should) be saving the canaries. How deaths like those of Anthony and Justin Mitchell should never have happened.

If no one is coming to save us, we need to start discussing how we can save each other:
