Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee. My name is William Renz and I am the Director of Nuclear Protection Services and Emergency Preparedness for Dominion. I have the responsibility for nuclear security, access authorization, fitness for duty and emergency preparedness for all three of our nuclear power stations.

Dominion appreciates the opportunity to provide testimony to the House Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations regarding nuclear power station security and onsite and offsite emergency preparedness as they relate to the draft James Lee Witt Associates report entitled A Review of Emergency Preparedness at Indian Point and Millstone . My testimony also will address your specific question about what if any progress has been made by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) with respect to emergency preparedness and security of nuclear power production facilities.
 
For those of you who may not be familiar with my company, Dominion is one of the largest electric and gas companies in the United States, with a diversified and integrated energy portfolio consisting of about 24,000 megawatts of generation. The company operates three nuclear power stations – the Millstone Power Station in southeastern Connecticut, and the North Anna and Surry Power Stations in Virginia. Electricity from these safe nuclear power plants account for about 25 percent of the power we produce for our customers.
