history
The power plant was planned from 1966. Construction of units 1 and 2 began on September 25, 1968. The two pressurized water reactors were built by the Westinghouse company . Commercial operation of Unit 1 began on June 30, 1977, and Unit 2 on October 13, 1981.
Operating license
In the USA, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) grants an operating license for a nuclear power plant for a period of up to 40 years. The 40 year period was originally based on the fixed asset depreciation period . The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 allows the operating license to be extended (even several times) by 20 years at a time.
The original operating license for Unit 1 was granted to the operator PSEG Nuclear, LLC on December 1, 1976 by the NRC. It was extended on June 30, 2011 to August 13, 2036.
The original permit for Block 2 was granted on May 20, 1981. It was extended on June 30, 2011 to April 18, 2040.
