The NRC is announcing that it will hold a public scoping meeting as an online webinar, for the North Anna subsequent license renewal supplement to the NRC's NUREG-1437, “Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants” (GEIS). The webinar will offer a telephone line for members of the public to provide comments. A court reporter will record and transcribe all comments received during the webinar.
