TVA Faces Nuclear Outage Crisis
TVA is facing criticism after data revealed its nuclear reactors shut down unexpectedly 12 times over the past year.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) serves more than 10 million people in Southeast USA. According to a WPLN News review of US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) records, these outages affected all seven of TVA’s reactors.
The outages resulted in the lowest use of nuclear power the agency has reported since 2007. TVA has the sixth highest generation capacity of any US utility company and the third largest nuclear power fleet comprising seven units at three sites.
No comment from TVA was provided.
TVA has been serving the nuclear industry since 1956.
