Bellefonte
Location: AL
Operator: Tennessee Valley Authority
Configuration: 2 X 1,332 MW PWR
Operation: n/a (construction stopped 1988)
Reactor supplier: B&W
T/G supplier: BBC
EPC: TVA
Quick facts: In Dec 1974, construction permits were issued for Bellefonte
but in 1988 after 14yrs years of construction and about $6bn of
investment, TVA shutdown construction due to slower than expected load
growth. Units 1&2 were at about 88% and 58% completion, respectively.
These were the largest B&W reactors ever built. In Nov 2005, TVA
formally notified the NRC that the units were cancelled and the CPs were pulled.
In Aug 2008, TVA asked NRC to reinstate the CPs and began planning for a
possible construction restart at Bellefonte. The site has also been
promoted for the addition of two AP1000 reactors and was
previously considered for a 1,500-MW IGCC plant.

Browns Ferry
Location: AL
Operator: Tennessee Valley Authority
Configuration: 3 X 1,155 MW BWR
Operation: 1974-1977
Reactor supplier: GE
T/G supplier: GE
EPC: TVA
Quick facts: Browns Ferry-1 went commercial on 1 Aug 1974 (approximate
time of this photo). At completion of Unit-3 in Mar 1977, this was the
largest nuclear power plant in the world. After a number of technical and operational
difficulties
TVA shut down Browns Ferry and the rest of its nuclear fleet in 1985. TVA restarted Units 2&3, in 1991 and 1995
respectively and the Board approved the restart of Unit-1 in May 2002. After an extensive recovery effort that cost about
$1.8bn, Unit-1 restarted to schedule in May 2007.

Location: TN
Operator: Tennessee Valley Authority
Configuration: 4 X 1,233 MW BWR
Operation: n/a (construction stopped 1982)
Reactor supplier: GE
T/G supplier: BBC
EPC: TVA, GE
Quick facts: On 23 Nov 1974, TVA issued a draft EIA for two pairs of units
at its 1,931ac Hartsville site near the Cumberland River in Smith and Trousdale

the expenditure of about $2bn. The plant A construction permit was
cancelled on 29 Aug 1984 and the Plant B CP on 22 Mar 1984. At
termination, the project was expected to cost $12bn if completed. One
560ft cooling tower marks the site. About a quarter of the original
property is now occupied by the PowerCom Industrial Center.
