How much did Palisades Nuclear Generating Station cost to build?
Palisades Nuclear Generating Station is a single-reactor nuclear power plant on the Lake Michigan shore in Covert Township, Van Buren County, Michigan, built by Consumers Power from 12 March 1967, started on 29 December 1971, permanently shut down on 20 May 2022 and now owned by Holtec International with a restart under way. Wikipedia's infobox gives its cost as USD 630 million in 2007 dollars, a restated figure that does not match the plant's original 1966 plan of about USD 100 million, and no utility or NRC cost document was opened.
