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 UFOMOD program system is an advanced probabilistic accident consequence assessment (ACA) code. Its structure and modeling are based on the experience gained from applications of the old UFOMOD code during and after the German Risk Study Phase A, the results of scientific investigations performed within Phase B, the ongoing Commission of the European Communities Methods for Assessing the Radiological Impact of Accidents project, and the requirements resulting from the extended use of ACA codes to help in decision making. The structure of the program system and essential characteristics of important submodules are described. Selected results of recent investigations illustrate the flexibility and broad applicability of the new UFOMOD code.
