NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-338 and 50-339]
Virginia Electric and Power Co., North Anna Power Station, Units
1 and 2; Notice of Availability of the Final Supplement 7 to the
Generic Environmental Impact Statement Regarding License Renewal for
the North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2
Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) has published a final plant-specific Supplement 7 to the Generic
Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the
renewal of operating licenses NPF-4 and NPF-7 for the North Anna Power
Station, Units 1 and 2, for an additional 20 years of operation. The
North Anna Power Station units are operated by Virginia Electric and
Power Company (VEPCo). North Anna Power Station is located on the
southern shore of Lake Anna, Louisa County, Virginia. Possible
alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action
and reasonable alternative methods of power generation.
In Section 9.3 of the report:
Based on (1) the analysis and findings in the Generic
Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear
Plants, NUREG-1437; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by VEPCo;
(3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the
staff's own independent review; and (5) the staff's consideration of
public comments, the recommendation of the staff is that the
Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of
license renewal for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, are not
so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy
planning decision-makers would be unreasonable.
The final Supplement 7 to the GEIS is available electronically for
public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) located at One
White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,
Maryland, or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of
NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS
is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ (the Public
Electronic Reading Room). Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or
who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS,
should contact the PDR reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737,
or by e-mail to pdr@nrc.gov.
