Dominion Energy has filed an application with federal regulators to keep its nuclear power station in southeast Virginia running for at least another 20-year term.
Like all U.S. nuclear units, the North Anna and Surry power plants were originally licensed to operate for 40 years, but Dominion plans to renew their licenses for a second time.
Dominion Virginia Power\’s nuclear power plant in Surry is getting a new inspector from federal regulators.
