Abstract:
Since 2001, Dominion has taken a leading role in identifying and addressing the barriers to a possible new nuclear power plant in the United States: the first new project in over 25 years. In cooperation with the DOE, Dominion performed site evaluations of 5 sites in the US, and selected the North Anna site in Virginia as the site for demonstrating the previously untested NRC Early Site Permit (ESP) process. In 2004, Dominion was awarded a cooperative agreement with DOE under the Nuclear Power 2010 program to take this another step: to complete  design certification of a selected technology, obtain approval of a Construction and Operating License (COL) , and complete all engineering necessary to make a decision as on whether to build. Milestones and lessons learned thus far in these projects will be discussed.

All students and faculty are invited to attend.
UTNE Graduate Students who hold Assistantships or Fellowships are required to attend in person.

Refreshments will be provided in 219 Pasqua immediately following the colloquium.
