  • TVA's Bad Nuclear
    TVA’s Bad Nuclear Bet: Gambling BILLIONS on Bellefonte Reactors Prepared by the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy August 2011 Executive Summary “The circumstances for Bellefonte Units 1 and 2 are unique; no other licensee has ever given up its construction permits, partially dismantled the plant and allowed the facility to degrade, then requested that the permits be reissued.” -Joseph F. Williams, NRC Senior Project Manager1 The history of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) Bellefonte site in Jackson County, Alabama spans nearly 40 years. A total of four reactors have been proposed, and billions of dollars have been spent, but not a single kilowatt of electricity has ever been produced. After allowing the site to sit idle for more than 20 years and scrapping the facility for spare parts, TVA is now proposing to restart construction of the Bellefonte Unit 1 reactor, which may be one of the greatest gambles in the agency’s history. Southern Alliance for Clean Energy has serious concerns about TVA’s push to complete the mothballed, abandoned Bellefonte reactors. Bellefonte’s unique and complicated history is compounded by that fact that, in order to complete construction of the reactors, TVA faces unique and complicated problems—many worse than any other reactor project has previously faced. This report documents some of our concerns and makes it clear that finishing Bellefonte is not a gamble worth taking. Our concerns include Bellefonte's long, complicated history; multiple safety concerns that have not been addressed; the troubled history of the Babcock &Wilcox “Mark-C 205” design; the unnecessary and costly nature of Bellefonte; and additional obstacles.

  • Energy Northwest
    BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION Fact Sheet May 2018 Energy Northwest: Delivering value to BPA and the Northwest The relationship between BPA and Energy Northwest is unique among “Energy Northwest’s Columbia Generating the Bonneville Power Administration’s Station is a valuable, around-the-clock energy suppliers. Energy Northwest generating resource that supports BPA’s mission of delivering reliable, clean and and BPA have a shared responsibility affordable power to our utility customers for the Columbia Generating Station throughout the Northwest.” that runs much deeper than a power purchase agreement. — Elliot Mainzer, administrator and chief executive officer, BPA The simplest statement of the relationship is that Energy Northwest owns and operates the Columbia Generating Station, the Northwest’s only commercial nuclear power plant, while BPA funds the nuclear plant and markets its power. Bonneville and Energy Northwest both seek excellent plant performance as defined through measurements of safety, power generation, reliability and efficiency. Energy Northwest, a joint action agency of the state of Washington, currently made up of 27 of public utilities, also has helped BPA refinance and manage debt, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in savings to BPA ratepayers. Power benefits Columbia is an integral part of BPA’s energy portfolio. BPA provides about 30 percent of the electricity consumed in the Northwest. Of that, Columbia provides about 1,200 megawatts, or approximately 13 percent of BPA’s firm energy resource, making it the region’s third largest power resource behind Grand Coulee and Chief Columbia Generating Station Joseph dams. That’s enough energy for about one million homes or 4 percent of the region’s power.
