The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved exemptions for PSEG Nuclear, LLC, allowing it to transfer earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust funds into specific subaccounts without prior notification. These exemptions pertain to funds at Hope Creek Generating Station, Salem Generating Station, and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, and are intended for activities that don't strictly fall under "decommissioning" as defined by existing regulations. The NRC confirmed these changes will not jeopardize the safe decommissioning of the reactors and concluded there are no significant environmental impacts from this decision. The exemptions are immediately effective and will expire once each reactor permanently ceases operations and removes nuclear fuel.
Simple Explanation
PSEG Nuclear got permission to move some money around in special bank accounts for cleaning up their power plants without telling the boss each time, as long as it doesn't mess up important cleanup work. The boss checked and said this change is safe, like moving allowance money to a piggy bank for different toys without asking mom each time.
