Energy Net on 20 Mar 09Three nuclear power plants in southern New Jersey have begun their relicensing process. The Salem 1 and 2 and Hope Creek plants share an island on the Delaware River. The permit for Salem 2 is good until 2020 and Hope Creek is licensed to operate until 2026. But plant co-owner PSEG Nuclear says it is submitting relicensing materials for them along with Salem 1 because all the plants share operations. The Salem 1 license expires in 2016. Plant officials met with officials from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Monday to outline relicensing plans.
