Dominion Continues Pitch For New Reactor at North Anna

Dominion Virginia Power held a "media day" tour of the North Anna Nuclear Power Plant, and Rusty Dennen of the Fredericksburg Freelance-Star was there:

David Christian, senior vice president-nuclear and chief nuclear officer, kicked off the tour with a short presentation in the plant's visitors center. He said Dominion must plan ahead, and that more nuclear power should be in the mix--not only for the nation, but to meet rising electricity demand worldwide.

Dennen also mentions a speech given by Dominion CEO Thomas F. Farrell II at the Richmond-based World Affairs Council on energy policy earlier this week. Click here for a copy. And click here for my coverage from Louisa County last month when I attended an NRC public meeting.
