Twenty- five activists occupied the welcome center of the North Anna nuclear power plant in Louisa, VA on Thursday, August 7. The power plant is operated by Dominion Energy, which has previously been targeted with direct action for its plans to build both new coal and nuclear electric plants.

The protesters occupied the visitor center for 2 hours, until police came in to remove them. They also gave their own version of a tour for visitors, revealing the true nature of the nuclear industry. Six people were arrested for refusing to leave the building.

The action was planned by Nuclear Watch South, Blue Ridge Earth First!, and Rising Tide North America, and took place during the Southeast Convergence for Climate Action.
