The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant is back in operation. The Herald-Palladium reports that the plant near Covert restarted on Thursday after an 18 day shutdown. The plant was shut down August 12th because of a coolant leak. A part needed to repair the leak was replaced. A plant spokesman says it could be several days before the plant reaches full power.
