20 November 2007 -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission authorized its Office of New Reactors to issue an Early Site Permit (ESP) to Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC for the North Anna ESP site near Louisa, Va.

Successful completion of the ESP process resolves many site-related safety and environmental issues and determines the site is suitable for possible future construction and operation of a nuclear power plant. The company filed its ESP application Sept. 25, 2003. The permit will be valid for up to 20 years. During that time, the company (or any other potential applicant interested in the site) must still seek NRC approval for a combined license to build one or more nuclear plants on the site before any significant construction can occur.

The NRC issued the first-ever ESP for the Clinton site in Illinois on March 15 and issued an ESP for the Grand Gulf site in Mississippi on April 5. The NRC continues to work on the ESP application for the Vogtle site in Georgia.
