TVA Faces Nuclear Outage Crisis
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is facing criticism after data revealed its nuclear reactors shut down unexpectedly 12 times over the past year.
Serving over 10 million people in Southeast USA, TVA's outages have affected all seven of its reactors, resulting in the lowest use of nuclear power since 2007.
According to a review of US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) records by WPLN News, TVA has the sixth highest generation capacity of any US utility company and the third largest nuclear power fleet.
No comment from TVA was provided.
TVA's nuclear reactors are located at three sites, comprising seven units.
Author summary: TVA faces criticism due to unexpected nuclear reactor shutdowns.
