* April 16, 2003: N-highlights from parent company's 1st Quarter 2003 financial conference call

1. Dominion Energy: completed North Anna Unit 2 vessel head replacement.

2. Dominion Energy: received NRC license renewals for the North Anna and Surry nuclear units.

Live Q&A:

Q28. (Michael Worms, Gerard Klauer Mattison) Can you give us a schedule of the reactor head replacements that are yet to come?

A. (Thomas Farrell) North Anna One, the vessel head work is complete and the unit is in start up. One of the Surry units will come down on Sunday. We expect all these outages to take about 55-60 days. One of the Surry units will come down this Sunday, expected back early June. The second and last of the Surry units to have a vessel head replaced will be in the Fall refueling outage.

Q29. (Michael Worms, Gerard Klauer Mattison) On the North Anna One replacement in terms of the outage time, how did that compare to the first one that you did?

A. (Thomas Farrell) It was much shorter than the first one. The first one we had taken down for its refueling outage, began our preliminary inspections of the vessel head and decided that repairing it was going to take almost as long as it would take us to replace it. So that took from late September until the middle of January, that North Anna Two outage; North Anna One is significantly shorter.

April 15, 2003: A letter to the editor of Richmond Times Dispatch took eloquent exception to the anti-nuclear focus of the newspaper's story announcing license extension approvals. The letter writer concluded with "The fact that the North Anna and Surry power stations may operate for an additional 20 years means Virginia's citizens will pay less for electricity and suffer less environmental insult. That is good news!" The editors' reply seems a bit off the mark to nuclear.com: "News editors respond: Because of electric deregulation, Dominion Virginia Power is not obligated to pass along any of the cost savings that are associated with extending the life of the nuclear power plants to Virginia consumers."
