From a Progressive blog post found on a Google search. Take with a grain of salt.

The North Anna reactors are of the Westinghouse Pressurized Water design and went on line in 1979 and 1980 respectively. Since then the reactors have generated approximately 1,200 metric tons of nuclear spent fuel containing about 228,000 curies of highly radioactive materials—among the largest concentrations of radioactivity in the United States.

No. They’re both Westinghouse 4 loop PWRs.

Nope—North Anna is a dual-unit PWR.
