House to Discuss ATLANTA, Ga.—Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will hold an open house April 30 to discuss the 2025 safety performance of the North Anna nuclear power plant. The plant, which has two units, is in Louisa County, Virginia and is operated by Dominion Energy. The event will run from 5-7 p.m. Eastern time at the Louisa Arts Center, 212 Fredericksburg Ave. in Louisa, Virginia. NRC employees responsible for plant inspections, including the resident inspectors based full-time at the site, will be available to answer questions at the event. The NRC concluded that North Anna operated safely throughout 2025. All inspection findings and performance indicators were of very low safety significance. As a result, the plant remains under the agency’s normal level of oversight, which includes thousands of hours of inspections each year. The annual assessment letter for the North Anna plant, including upcoming inspection plans, is available on the NRC website. Current performance information is available on the NRC website and updated quarterly.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission was created as an expert, technical agency to protect public health, safety, and security, and regulate the civilian use of nuclear materials, including enabling the deployment of nuclear power for the benefit of society. Among other responsibilities, the agency issues licenses, conducts inspections, initiates and enforces regulations, and plans for incident response. The NRC is collaborating with interagency partners to implement reforms outlined in new Executive Orders and the ADVANCE Act to streamline agency activities and enhance efficiency.
