PSEG Nuclear, LLC; Hope Creek Generating Station; Salem Generating Station, Units 1 and 2; and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3; Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact
Summary
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of exemptions in response to the May 28, 2024, request from PSEG Nuclear, LLC (the licensee) for Hope Creek Generating Station (Hope Creek); Salem Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (Salem); and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom). The exemptions would allow the licensee to periodically transfer earnings from funds dedicated for radiological decommissioning activities in its nuclear decommissioning trust (NDT) into separately maintained subaccounts within the NDT for certain activities not within the definition of "decommission" in NRC regulations without prior NRC notification. The NRC staff is issuing an environmental assessment (EA) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI) associated with the proposed exemptions.
