TVA Nuke Going Forward

(Knoxville, Tennessee) The Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors is expected to consider -- and approve -- the completion of the deferred Watts Bars Nuclear Plant Unit 2 at its meeting on August 1st.

Easier said than done. That plant has been in limbo for about two decades and surely acted as a spare parts source for Unit 1. Consequently, the entire facility has been cannibalized to some extent and the materials that weren't taken were probably poorly maintained. It will be a big job.

Nonetheless, it's a good move. Operated properly, you can't beat a nuke plant in pumping out megawatts.
