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).
