Richard Ryman column: Dominion seeks OK to build new reactor

By Richard Ryman

Dominion Resources Inc. moves a step closer to being allowed to build a new nuclear reactor with an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hearing Tuesday in Virginia.

Dominion is among a handful of U.S. utilities pursuing government permission to build a nuclear plant. A new nuclear power plant has not been built in the United States in more than 30 years.
