    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering granting exemptions to PSEG Nuclear, LLC for its Hope Creek, Salem, and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Stations. These exemptions would allow PSEG to use earnings from its nuclear decommissioning trust for activities not strictly defined as "decommissioning" by NRC regulations. After conducting an environmental assessment, the NRC found that there would be no significant impact on the environment or safety, as the action is primarily financial in nature. Therefore, they decided not to prepare an environmental impact statement and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).

    Simple Explanation

    PSEG Nuclear wants special permission to use money from their savings (meant for cleaning up old power plants) to pay for different things, and the people in charge checked and said it's okay because it won't hurt anything.
