(Dominion), which requested an additional 20 years for the already-renewed operating licenses of Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2. The application is now available for public review on the NRC website.

Dominion filed the application Oct. 16, seeking to renew the licenses for a second time. The Surry units are pressurized-water reactors located approximately 17 miles northwest of Newport News, Va. The NRC approved the initial license renewal in March 2003, with Unit 1 currently licensed to operate through May 25, 2032, and Unit 2 through Jan. 29, 2033.

The NRC staff is reviewing the application to determine if it has sufficient information to complete the agencys extensive safety and environmental reviews. If the application is determined to be complete, the staff will docket it and publish a notice of opportunity to request an adjudicatory hearing before the NRCs Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.

Information regarding the license renewal process is available on the NRC website. A copy of the Surry subsequent license renewal application will be available at the Williamsburg Regional Library, 515 Scotland St., in Williamsburg, Va.
