Roughly one-year delay in PSEG ESP schedule

摘要

Citing "resource constraints flowing from the federal budget continuing resolution last year," the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on December 23 informed PSEG Power that the agency's review of the company's application for an early site permit (ESP) will be delayed, with the net effect being that the review will be completed about a year later than the target date in the previous schedule. PSEG has applied for an ESP for the possible construction of new power reactors at a site adjacent to its Hope Creek/Salem complex in New Jersey. The company has not specified a reactor model, and the property is referred to simply as "PSEG site."
