TVA: Restart Unit 1

At Browns Ferry nuclear plant:

Unit 1 began generating power in 1973, then was shut down as dangerous in 1985. The first run included a $100 million fire, frequent safety violations and the discovery that Unit 1's structure didn't match the plans that were supposed to describe it. That led the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and TVA to decide the plant couldn't be operated safely.


Imagine.

If I were one of those terrorists supposedly wanting to blow up a nuke plant on Independence Day, I'd take a close look at Browns Ferry.
