PSEG pursues ZEC extensions for Hope Creek, SalemNuclear NewsPower & OperationsOctober 6, 2020, 7:00AM|Nuclear News StaffNew Jersey–based Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) has filed applications to extend zero-emission certificates (ZEC) for its Hope Creek and Salem nuclear power plants, co-located in Hancocks Bridge, N.J. Hope Creek is home to one 1,237-MWe boiling water reactor, while Salem houses two pressurized water reactors, with Unit 1 rated at 1,169-MWe and Unit 2 at 1,181-MWe.According to an October 1 announcement from PSEG, Hope Creek and Salem deliver more than 90 percent of all of New Jersey’s carbon-free energy and are essential to the state’s ability to achieve its goal of a 100 percent carbon-free energy supply by 2050, as outlined in the state’s Energy Master Plan.More: An addendum to PSEG’s announcement, with information and documentation in support of the ZEC applications, can be found here.ExpandTags:hope creekpsegsalemzecShare:LinkedInTwitterFacebook

2019 - A Wish List in Nuclear EnergyANS Nuclear CafeJanuary 10, 2019, 3:54PM|Will DavisWelcome to 2019! I hope everyone who took a break enjoyed it. For those who didn't, why didn't you? Initially, I had thoughts of trying to separate from social media and news to a significant extent during the holidays but, after conversations with Linda Zec (our wonderful ANS staff liaison for the Social Media Team, among many other things) decided that it was impractical to do so for a variety of reasons. So, as the holiday furor ebbed and flowed and I continued, still connected, to read news and year-end summations, I found myself wishing that there wouldn't be so much frustrating news in 2019. That's why I decided to open my eighth calendar year writing for the ANS Nuclear Cafe with a wish list, or "listicle" in the inside jargon, if you prefer. Here, in ascending order of importance (or, I suppose, increasing order of unlikelihood) are my five wishes for this new year in nuclear energy. (All on one screen; no annoying "next" buttons. You're welcome.)Go to ArticleTags:american nuclear societygen-ivjapankashiwazaki-kariwakepcomoon jae-innuclearnuclear powernuscalesmrsouth koreatepcounited statesv.c. summervogtlewill daviszeczero emissions creditShare:LinkedInTwitterFacebook
