By ExchangeMonitor

Holtec International, Jupiter, Fla., planned to host on Dec. 4 another open house in Michigan about its effort to restart the Palisades Nuclear Generating Station, local radio station WSJM 84.9 reported

The meeting was scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Eastern time to 7:00 p.m. Eastern time at the Palisades Joint Information Center in Benton Harbor, Mich., the station said.

 

Startups developing a molten thorium reactor and deep geologic disposal sites in Africa, North America and Europe said this week they will cooperate on the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel from light water reactors.

The companies, U.S.-based repository developer DeepGEO and Denmark-based reactor developer Copenhagen Atomics announced their cooperation Tuesday in a joint press release.

 

Christopher Ciabattone, finance director for Holtec International, died Nov. 19, according to an obituary posted online. He was 64.

The obituary did not specify a cause of death. Ciabattone lived in Princeton, N.J., according to the obituary, about 55 miles southwest by road from Holtec’s main manufacturing campus in Camden, N.J.
