APPLICANT: Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC
FACILITY: North Anna Early Site Permit
SUBJECT: SUMMARY OF PUBLIC MEETING HELD TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON THESUPPLEMENT TO DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FORTHE NORTH ANNA EARLY SITE PERMIT APPLICATION
On Tuesday, August 15, 2006, members of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)staff held a public meeting at the Louisa County Middle School, in Mineral, Virginia, concerningthe staff’s environmental review of the early site permit (ESP) application submitted byDominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC (Dominion). The purpose of the meeting was to present thepreliminary findings of draft Supplement 1 to NUREG-1811, “Draft Environmental ImpactStatement for an Early Site Permit at the North Anna ESP Site” (SDEIS), and provide the publicwith an opportunity to comment on the SDEIS, which was issued in July 2006. The SDEISanalyzed the impacts of the change to the cooling system for proposed Unit 3 from a oncethrough system to a combination wet and dry cooling system, and the increase in power levelfor proposed Units 3 and 4 from 4300-4500 MWt.
Formal presentations, including the NRC’s preliminary recommendation, were made by theNRC and its contractor, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The staff’s preliminaryrecommendation is that the ESP should be issued. This preliminary recommendation is basedon: (1) the Environmental Report (ER) submitted by Dominion, as revised; (2) consultation withFederal, State, Tribal and local agencies; (3) the staff’s independent review; and (4) theassessments summarized in the SDEIS, including the mitigation measures identified in the ERand the EIS. In addition, in making its preliminary recommendation, the staff has concludedthat there are no environmentally preferable or obviously superior alternative sites. Finally, thestaff has preliminarily concluded that the site preparation and preliminary construction activitiesallowed by 10 CFR 50.10(e)(1) will not result in any significant adverse environmental impactthat cannot be redressed.
After the formal presentations were given by the NRC staff, members of the public were invitedto provide comments. Approximately 300 people attended the meeting. Attendees includedmembers of the public and media; representatives of the NRC; representatives from publicinterest groups, the nuclear industry, Dominion; and State and local government officials. Comments were in support of, and opposition to, the ESP. Topics discussed included theimpact of the new cooling system on Lake Anna, the waste heat treatment facility and theNorth Anna River downstream of the lake, and the change in power level. The public providedcomments on emergency preparedness and security, spent fuel storage, alternative energysources, water use, health impacts, and radiological effluent releases.
In an effort to improve communication and increase interaction with members of the public, theNRC staff conducted a open house 1 hour before the meeting and encouraged the public tosubmit public comments and meeting feedback forms. The staff provided displays andbrochures and met with members of the public to answer questions about the proposedNorth Anna ESP. Enclosure 1 is a list of attendees. Enclosure 2 is the corrected meetingtranscript. Enclosure 3 is the Meeting Agenda and Open House Welcome letter. Enclosure 4is a copy of the meeting slides. The NRC staff extended the comment period on the SDEIS by15 days to September 12, 2006.
