Visit to Lake Anna Nuclear Information Center

Today I was able to visit the North Anna Nuclear Information Center.  I learned more about the nuclear power plant, how Dominion decided on a location to create the lake, and about some of the impacts on the Environment. I plan on visiting the state park in the area soon, and I will post more information that I gather from them once I am able to visit when they are open.

The nuclear information center does programs with schools, and I am working on seeing if I can put together a joint trip to that center and the Lake Anna State Park.


Here is a picture of the area when they were first creating the lake in the late 1960s/early 1970s.  I apologize for the poor quality. In 1968 Dominion purchased 18000 acres of land, and today Lake Anna covers 13000 of those acres.



Here is a map of the different nuclear power plants in Virginia



Here are some examples of displays they have at the center
