Notice · 2026-03943 · February 27, 2026

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has accepted for review and docketed the first part of a phased construction permit (CP) application, including a limited work authorization (LWA) request, submitted by SMR, LLC (SMR), a Holtec International Company, for a dual-unit SMR-300 plant located at the Palisades Energy Center (PEC) in Covert, Michigan. The units are individually named Pioneer Unit 1 and Pioneer Unit 2. In addition, the NRC is providing notice that an uncontested hearing will be held on SMR's application at a time and place to be set in the future by the presiding officer for the uncontested hearing. This notice also provides the public with an opportunity to request a hearing and petition for leave to intervene (i.e., contested hearing) with respect to that application. If the NRC issues an LWA, the applicant, SMR, would be authorized to conduct certain early construction activities of a dual-unit SMR-300 plant at the PEC site. Because the application contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI), this notice includes an order that imposes procedures to obtain access to SUNSI for contention preparation.
