In a letter to Dominion Virginia Power dated July 20, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission wrote that staff "has identified the need for additional information regarding the status of compliance with other requirements associated with the proposed action." The letter cites state and federal certifications required to protect coastal zones and water quality. Dominion has said that those approvals are not needed to support its early site-permit application pending before the NRC. The utility wants the option to build up to two more nuclear reactors at the Louisa County plant on Lake Anna. The permit would allow Dominion to resolve site and environmental issues before submitting a construction plan, and to "bank" a site for 20 years.

Project examines potential for Europe's power grid to increase HVDC Technology
PARIS - A partnership of 14 leading European energy industry companies, research organizations and universities has launched a new project to identify opportunities to increase integration of HVDC technology into the European transmission system.
The HVDC-WISE project, in which the University of Strathclyde is the UK’s only academic partner, is supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme.
The project’s goal is to develop a toolkit for grid developers to evaluate the grid’s performance under extreme conditions and to plan systems to realise the full range of potential benefits from deep integration of HVDC technology into the European transmission system.
