Last week the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to operate a new nuclear power facility in North Alabama. From the press release:
“If approved by the NRC, the license to build and operate a two-unit plant at the Bellefonte site in Hollywood, Ala., would be issued to TVA. The TVA Board would decide whether to build a new nuclear plant at the site.”
The TVA press release is available from their web site. For more information on how the NRC will determine whether or not to grant the TVA an operating license, check out the NRC web site. The AP’s take on it is available here.
