Not on our Fault Line!
A new alliance, Not on Our Fault Line, has formed to oppose Dominion Virginia Power’s plans for a new nuclear reactor in Louisa County adjacent to the site of the North Anna Reactors 1 & 2. The price tag for the proposed North Anna 3 nuclear reactor would be “far north of ten billion dollars” according to Daniel Weekley, Vice President of Corporate Affairs for Dominion.

Addressing Risk and Cost
“We are calling on Dominion Virginia Power to abandon its plans for the North Anna 3 reactor because this project is too costly and too risky,” said Jerry Rosenthal, a Louisa County resident, and member of the People’s Alliance for Clean Energy.
“A new nuclear reactor at North Anna is also too risky,’ said Erica Gray, Nuclear Issues Chair for the Virginia Sierra Club. “This reactor would be built on an existing fault line and just 11 miles from the epicenter of a 2011 earthquake that exceeded the design standards of the two existing reactors and cracked the Washington Monument some eighty miles away. Additionally, it is a new reactor design that has never been built and operated commercially.”
"The North Anna 3 nuclear reactor is too costly because that $10+ billion price tag for a new nuclear reactor could raise our utility bills ‘far north’ of a 40% increase,” said Glen Besa, Virginia Director for the Sierra Club. “Dominion needs to be investing in efficiency, solar and wind energy all of which are far cheaper than nuclear power.”
