North Anna Nuclear Generating Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North Anna nuclear power plant is on a 1,075 acre (4.4 km²) site in Louisa County, Virginia. North Anna is operated by Dominion Generation company. It is jointly owned by the Dominion Virginia Power corporation (88.4 %) and by the Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (11.6 %).
The plant has two Westinghouse pressurized water reactors which went on-line in 1978 and 1980 respectively.
An artificial lake, Lake Anna, was constructed on the North Anna River to provide a reservoir of water coolant for use with the nuclear plant.
Dominion currently owns Nuclear Power Plants in Virginia (North Anna, Surry), Connecticut (Millstone), and Wisconsin (Kewaunee).
North Anna is currently going through the lengthy process of getting permission to build one to two additional units at the site.
