Issued Combined Licenses for North Anna, Unit 3

By letter dated November 26, 2007, Virginia Electric and Power Company, doing business as Dominion Virginia Power (Dominion) and Old Dominion Electric Power Company (ODEC), submitted an application to the NRC for a COL to construct and operate an ESBWR at the North Anna Power Station site (NAPS) Early Site Permit (ESP) site in Louisa County, Virginia. The site of the proposed North Anna Unit 3 is within the existing boundaries of the currently operating NAPS site. The site is located on the shore of Lake Anna, approximately 64 kilometers (km) (40 miles (mi)) north-northwest of Richmond, Virginia. Two operating nuclear generating units, North Anna Units 1 and 2, are located within the NAPS site.

On March 8, 2012, Dominion updated the COLA for North Anna Unit 3. In the revised application, Dominion stated that it has acquired sole title to the portion of NAPS on which Unit 3 would be located, would own Unit 3, and would construct and operate Unit 3. Dominion and ODEC own the remainder of NAPS, including the existing nuclear units and the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at that site, as tenants in common, with respective undivided ownership interests of 88.4 and 11.6 percent, respectively. Dominion is the licensed operator of the existing facilities, with control of the NAPS site and existing facilities and authority to act as ODEC's agent.

Reference Documents

In accordance with Title 10, Part 52, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 52), "Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants," a COL application may reference a standard design certification, an early site permit, both, or neither. Many COL applications have referenced an application for design certification, in accordance with 10 CFR 52.55(c). On that basis, Dominion referenced the ESBWR design control document (DCD) in its COL original application for North Anna, Unit 3:

• ESBWR DCD - Revision 10
• North Anna Early Site Permit
• NUREG-1917, "Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Combined License (COL) for North Anna Power Station Unit 3" (March 2010)

Application Information

The following table provides access to the COL Application that Dominion submitted for North Anna, Unit 3.

Some combined license applications were submitted with hyperlinks to various reference documents. Currently, the hyperlinks in those applications are not active. These hyperlinks represent an advanced feature that could be activated when the agency upgrades to web-based ADAMS, at which point these applications and documents such as the Final Safety Analysis Report and associated Technical/Topical Reports would be linked together. In the interim, and for those applications that do not have the hyperlink feature, the reference documents may be viewed under the Reference Documents section of the combined license application page. In addition, DVDs of the various documents are available by contacting the Public Document Room staff.
