Application Review Schedule for the Combined License Application for North Anna, Unit 3
Initially, Dominion Virginia Power (Dominion) submitted an application to obtain a combined license (COL) for an Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) designated as North Anna, Unit 3. On June 28, 2010, Dominion revised its application to change the reactor technology design to a United States - Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor (US-APWR). On July 31, 2013, Dominion revised its application to revert back to the Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) reactor technology for North Anna Unit 3.
The following table summarizes the key milestones in the schedule that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) established for its review of the application that Dominion submitted to obtain a combined license (COL) for one US-APWR designated as North Anna Power Station, Unit 3.
