an Application for an Early Site Permit for the PSEG Site

    By letter dated May 25, 2010, as supplemented by letters dated June 
22, 2010, July 6, 2010, July 7, 2010, and July 29, 2010, PSEG Power, 
LLC and PSEG Nuclear, LLC filed with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC, the Commission) pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic 
Energy Act and title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 
part 52, ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power 
Plants,'' an application for an early site permit (ESP) for the PSEG 
Site which is located on the southern part of Artificial Island on the 
east bank of the Delaware River in Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem 
County, New Jersey. A notice of receipt and availability of this 
application was previously published in the Federal Register (75 FR 
34794) on June 18, 2010. Other existing nuclear facilities licensed by 
the NRC located at this site are Salem Generating Station (SGS) Units 1 
and 2 and Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) Unit 1.
    An applicant may seek an ESP in accordance with subpart A of 10 CFR 
part 52 separate from the filing of an application for a construction 
permit (CP) or combined license (COL) for a nuclear power facility. The 
ESP process allows resolution of issues relating to siting. At any time 
during the duration of an ESP (up to 20 years), the permit holder may 
reference the permit in a CP or COL application.
    The NRC staff has determined that PSEG has submitted information in 
accordance with 10 CFR parts 2, ``Rules of Practice for Domestic 
Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of Orders,'' and 10 CFR part 52 that 
is sufficiently complete and acceptable for docketing. The Docket 
Number established for this application is 52-043.
    The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the 
application, and docketing of the ESP application does not preclude the 
NRC from requesting additional information from the applicant as the 
review proceeds, nor does it predict whether the Commission will grant 
or deny the application. The Commission will conduct a hearing in 
accordance with 10 CFR 52.21 and will receive a report on the 
application from the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards in 
accordance with 10 CFR 52.23. If the Commission then finds that the 
application meets the applicable standards of the Atomic Energy Act and 
the Commission's regulations, and that required notifications to other 
agencies and bodies have been made, the Commission will issue an ESP, 
in the form and containing conditions and limitations that the 
Commission finds appropriate and necessary.
    In accordance with 10 CFR part 51, the Commission will also prepare 
an environmental impact statement for the proposed action. Pursuant to 
10 CFR 51.26, and as part of the environmental scoping process, the 
staff intends to hold a public scoping meeting. Detailed information 
regarding this meeting will be included in a future Federal Register 
notice.
    Finally, the Commission will announce, in a future Federal Register 
notice, the opportunity to petition for leave to intervene in the 
hearing required for this application by 10 CFR 52.21.
    A copy of the PSEG Site ESP application is available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room located at One 
White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, 
Maryland, at the Penns Grove-Carneys Point Public Library, Penns Grove, 
New Jersey, and at the Salem Free Public Library, Salem, New Jersey. It 
is also accessible on the NRC Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/esp/pseg.html. The application submittal cover letter is
