New Jersey is weighing building the first new nuclear plant in the United States since 1973.

A proposal released Thursday by Gov. Jon S. Corzine's office calls for reviewing siting, permitting, financing and waste disposal issues involved with bringing a new nuclear plant to the state, along with other technologies with minimal or no carbon dioxide emissions.

The proposal is included in a draft energy master plan that will be subjected to public hearings in weeks ahead before getting final approval.

The plan is part of Corzine's effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

PSE&G spokesman Joe Delmar said it's investigating adding a fourth nuclear plant to its Lower Alloways Creek site in Salem County and expects to make a decision by year's end.

Several other states are weighing new reactors. The NRC expects to receive 22 applications for 33 reactors by 2010, not including any New Jersey plan.
