Since the start-up in 2007 of Tennessee Valley Authority's, TVA, Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant near Athens, Alabama, after decades of being shutdown, the plant has been plagued with problems which resulted in the plant being rated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NRC, as among the worst in the nation. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2008/apr/17/nrc-browns-ferry-plant-among-worst-nation/ This demonstrates a series of Reliability failures on the part of TVA at Browns Ferry. The NRC is doing their job. The TVA has hired a new Vice President to Manage the Browns Ferry Facility. If the TVA can not meet requirements of Nuclear Reliability Inspections they must not be allowed to operate nuclear reactors. Regardless if it is Browns Ferry or any other Nuclear Facility in the TVA region, Reliability failures are a danger to public safety. (TVA photo)
