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 [email protected].
