SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    Under section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of combined 
license NPF-103 to Virginia Electric and Power Company. Under 10 CFR 
50.102(c), the NRC is providing notice of the Commission's Memorandum 
and Order documenting its final decision on the uncontested hearing, 
which serves as the ROD in this proceeding. With respect to the 
application for combined licenses filed by Virginia Electric and Power 
Company, the NRC finds that the applicable standards and requirements 
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, (AEA) and the 
Commission's regulations have been met. The NRC finds that any required 
notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly made and that 
there is reasonable assurance that the facilities will be constructed 
and will operate in conformity with the license, the provisions of the 
AEA, and the Commission's regulations. Furthermore, the NRC finds that 
Virginia Electric and Power Company is technically and financially 
qualified to engage in the activities authorized, and that issuance of 
the licenses will not be inimical to the common defense and security or 
to the health and safety of the public. Finally, the NRC has determined 
that the findings required by subpart A of 10 CFR part 51 have been 
made.
    Accordingly, the combined license was issued on June 2, 2017, and 
became effective immediately.

II. Further Information

    The NRC has prepared a Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER) and 
Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) that document

the uncontested hearing held on March 23, 2017, which serves as the ROD 
in this proceeding. The NRC also prepared a document summarizing the
