It looks like those who have concerns about the permitting process for the proposed Fermi 3 nuclear power station are facing an uphill battle to have their worries considered by federal regulatory officials. A coalition that includes Monroe County residents and nuclear watchdog groups has put together 15 environmental and safety concerns they'd like to discuss as part of an upcoming Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hearing on the plan to expand DTE Energy's Fermi nuclear complex in Frenchtown Township.

And the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and DTE Energy are urging the board to disregard virtually all of the coalition's concerns.
