Virginia utility considers SMRs
Dominion Energy Virginia has issued a request for proposals from leading nuclear companies to study the feasibility of putting a small modular reactor at its North Anna nuclear power plant.
While the utility says it is not a commitment to build an SMR at the site, the RFP is “an important first step in evaluating the technology and the North Anna site to support Dominion Energy customers’ future energy needs consistent with the company’s most recent Integrated Resource Plan.”

The role of social media in our lives and society has changed substantially since its inception while nuclear experts or companies have sometimes been slower adopters than those in other industries. However, some ANS members have excelled in using social media to drive dialogues and discussions that have had a significant impact on the future of nuclear and their careers. Leading nuclear social media influencer Isabelle Boemeke joins a panel of other top influencers to discuss how they've used social media during their careers and what role they see for it in the future.
