NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-338 and 50-339; NRC-2020-0234]


Virginia Electric and Power Company; Dominion Energy Virginia; 
North Anna Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Draft supplemental environmental impact statement; request for 
comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for 
public comment draft plant-specific Supplement 7, Second Renewal, to 
the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for License Renewal 
of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of 
Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 for an additional 20 
years of operation for North Anna Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 
(North Anna). The North Anna facility is located in Louisa County, 
Virginia. Possible alternatives to the proposed action (subsequent 
license renewal) include no action and reasonable replacement power 
alternatives.

DATES: The staff will hold a webinar on the draft Environmental Impact 
Statement in September, including a presentation on the preliminary 
findings and a transcribed public comment session. The webinar details 
will be announced in the near future. Submit either electronic or 
written comments by October 12, 2021. Comments received after this date 
will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to 
ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.

II. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing for public comment draft plant-specific 
Supplement 7, Second Renewal, to the GEIS for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of 
Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 for an additional 20 
years of operation for North Anna, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. Draft plant-
specific Supplement 7, Second Renewal, to the GEIS includes the 
preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental impacts of the 
proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. The NRC 
staff's preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental 
impacts of subsequent license renewal for North Anna are not so great 
that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-
planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
