U.S. Extends Operating License for TVA's Alabama Nuclear Plant

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) (Knoxville, Tennessee) has announced that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has given second license extensions for all three reactors at the utility's Browns Ferry nuclear power plant in Alabama. Following power uprates performed in 2018 and 2019, the combined units generate around 3.8 gigawatts (GW), making the plant TVA's largest generating asset.
