TVA to shutter coal plants, turn to nuclear

TVA directors approved plans here Friday to move ahead with reviving work on its unfinished Bellefonte Nuclear Plant in Alabama, and replacing coal fired plants in the process. During Friday’s public hearing, anti-nuclear activists blasted TVA for putting $248 million in next year’s budget to move ahead with reviving the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant in Hollywood, Ala., where construction was halted in 1988.
