Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 issued the following announcement on Oct. 16.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted for review an application from Virginia
Electric and Power Company (Dominion) to renew for 20 years the previously renewed operating
licenses of North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2, located near Louisa, Va. Dominion submitted
its application to the NRC on Aug. 24.
The application, without proprietary details, is available on the NRC website. Dominion is
seeking a license renewal for the North Anna units, located approximately 40 miles northwest of
Richmond, Va. The NRC approved the initial license renewal in March 2003, with Unit 1 currently
licensed to operate through April 1, 2038, and Unit 2 through Aug. 21, 2040.
Accepting the application for review, or “docketing” it, does not indicate whether the
Commission will approve or reject the request. More information about subsequent license renewal
is available on the NRC website.
The NRC has published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to intervene in an
adjudicatory hearing. Petitions to intervene in a hearing must be filed by Dec. 14, 2020, by anyone
whose interest may be affected by the proposed license renewal and who wishes to participate as a
party in the proceeding. More information on the hearing process is available on the NRC website.
