Wise County Microreactor Feasibility Study
Public Survey Notification
Wise County, with support from Virginia Department of Energy (VA-DOE) and GO Virginia (GO VA), is launching a structured and transparent stakeholder engagement component as part of the Wise County Microreactor Feasibility Project. The Wise County Microreactor Feasibility Project will look to guide the development of a framework for potential future decisions related to advanced nuclear energy development in southwest Virginia. This initiative does not represent approval of a specific project, site, or reactor design. Instead, it is focused on identifying and prioritizing the criteria that would be used to evaluate such options if they are considered in the future.
As part of this project, a series of community surveys will be made available for Wise County residents. This survey is intended to gather public input regarding the factors that should be considered when evaluating the possibility of bringing an advanced nuclear energy facility to the region. It should take approximately 7-10 minutes to complete. Follow the link below to take the survey:
