Hope Creek Nuclear is a thermal nuclear power plant located by Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey on the same site as the two unit Salem Nuclear. The plant is owned and operated by PSEG Nuclear LLC. It has one unit (one reactor), a boiling water reactor (BWR) manufactured by General Electric. It has a generating capacity of 1,120 MWe. The plant came online on July 25, 1986, and its license to operate expires April 11, 2026 (although an extension is probable).

Hope Creek is one of only four nuclear power units in New Jersey (the others are the two at the Salem Nuclear Power Plant, and the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station) - together they produce over half (53% in 2003) of the electricity consumed by New Jersey.

Its license to operate will expire on April 11, 2026
