[External_Sender] North Anna Station

Dear Commissioners:

Dominion Energy has applied to extend the operating license for the North Anna Nuclear reactors from 60 to 80 years. Sierra Club and Beyond Nuclear are challenging the legality of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Dominion Energys misinterpretation and misuse of regulatory law in the License Renewal Application for the North Anna Nuclear Power Station in Mineral, VA.

The NRC must require a complete environmental review before approving nuclear reactors in an earthquake zone. North Anna nuclear power station is sited near the epicenter of the 2011, 5.7 magnitude earthquake, an unsafe magnitude for a nuclear power station. The groups legal challenge to the relicensing is valid. The NRC should consider all environmental and safety issues.

The NRC should require a new Environmental Impact Statement which includes a thorough examination of geologic risks. (This has not been done since the 2011 earthquake.)

A new assessment of Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives (SAMA) should be conducted by Dominion. (The last SAMA occurred in 2001.)

Harvesting and testing of components of the North Anna reactors to determine if they can operate safely for 80 years.

A new assessment of the structural integrity of the Lake Anna damn which holds the water for cooling the reactors.

An updated plan for the safe storage of the increasing radioactive waste stored at the power station.

A full public hearing on the license application which allows the public to speak and considers independent expert testimony.

Thank you.

Very truly yours, Michael Pillow Crozet, VA mfpillow@gmail.com Mobile: 321-436-6887 After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. - Aldous Huxley
