Dear Mr. Stoddard:

By letter dated August 24, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Package Accession No. ML20246G703), the Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion) submitted an application for subsequent license renewal of the Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 for the North Anna Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (North Anna) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or staff). In support of the application and in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 51 and Part 54, Dominion also submitted an environmental report for North Anna. This letter provides information related to the NRC staff's environmental review of the application.

The NRC staff has prepared a Notice of Intent (NOI) advising the public that the NRC intends to gather information necessary to prepare a plant-specific supplement to the NRCs Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (NUREG-1437),

related to the review of the application for the subsequent renewal of the North Anna operating licenses. Enclosed is a copy of the NOI.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.28, Dominion is invited to participate in the environmental scoping process. As discussed in the enclosed notice, the NRC staff is providing the public with the opportunity to participate in an environmental scoping meeting to be held on November 4, 2020.

The meeting will be in the form of a webinar. The NRC will present an overview of the safety and environmental review processes and describe how these processes will be implemented for the review of the North Anna subsequent license renewal application. Next, members of the public will be provided an opportunity to provide comments.

D. Stoddard If you have any questions on this matter, please contact Mr. Tam Tran at 301-415-3617, or via e-mail at Tam.Tran@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Digitally signed by Robert B.
