Are we going nuclear?
Article Abstract:
Two units of North Anna nuclear -power plant in Louisa County, Washington, generate 1,842 megawatts, providing 17 percent of Virginia's electricity and although this power plant is about ten miles away from the residents living on Lake Anna, it does not pose any nuclear hazard. Although the nuclear industry suffered setbacks, the Nuclear Energy Institute, heralding nuclear power as emission-free energy, envisions some 50 new plants over the next 20 years.
