PSEG N.J. Hope Creek Reactor Shut
29 January 2007
REUTERS (NEW YORK) -- Public Service Enterprise Group Inc.'s (PSEG) will shut down its 1,049-megawatt Hope Creek nuclear power station in New Jersey by early Monday, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) said. On Friday, the unit was operating at full power. The Hope Creek station, which entered service in 1986, is located in Hancock’s Bridge in Salem County, about 40 miles south of Philadelphia. One MW powers about 800 homes in New Jersey. PSEG told the NRC it planned to file for a 20-year extension of Hope Creek's original 40-year operating license in Sept. 2009. After the NRC accepts another application, it usually takes the nuclear regulator about 22 months to make a decision on a license renewal without a hearing and about 30 months with a hearing.
