According to commitments from PSE&G and a subsequent confirmatory action letter from the NRC, the unit will remain shutdown pending completion of the following actions:

  • Appropriately address long standing equipment reliability and operability issues.
  • After the work is completed, conduct a restart readiness review to determine for ourselves the ability of the unit to operate in a safe, event free manner.
  • After the restart review, meet with the NRG and communicate the results of that review.
