First American Nuclear Power Plant Since 1990's Set To Be "Finished"

The Tennessee Valley Authority or TVA was established during the Great Depression of the 1930's by President Franklin Roosevelt's administration to control the raging floods on the Tennessee River with locks and dams- thus providing commerce- water supplies- recreation and more importantly- electricity to the poverty-sticken area.

Later- nuclear energy was added- the facility seen in the image is one TVA plant- the last nuclear power facility to come on-line in the U.C.S.A. in 1996.
A second plant- planned- partially built but never finished- will now be completed- according a TVA board of director's decision in a meeting this morning reported by the Associated Press.
