Holtec International received approval from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to install foundational support systems for its planned small modular reactors (SMRs) at the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant site, marking an early construction phase despite not yet having a full construction permit.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can position your nuclear tech supplies or services ahead of full SMR construction, as early site prep work just cleared a key NRC hurdle at Palisades. This early approval signals faster on-site activity before final permits arrive.
