Nuclear Power Plant „ Browns Ferry”<br />

• The Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant is located on the Tennessee River near Decatur and Athens,<br />

Alabama, on the north side (right bank) of Wheeler Lake. The nuclear power plant is named<br />

after a ferry that operated at the site until the middle of the 20th century. The site has three<br />

General Electric boiling water reactor (BWR) nuclear generating units and is owned entirely<br />

by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Browns Ferry was TVA's first nuclear power plant; its<br />

approval occurred on June 17, 1966 and construction began in September 1966. In 1974, the<br />

time of its initial operation, it was the largest nuclear plant in the world. It was the first<br />

nuclear plant in the world to generate more than 1 gig watt of power.<br />
