The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) announced its intention to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for a new advanced nuclear reactor technology park at the Clinch River Nuclear Site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This project includes evaluating various environmental effects associated with building, operating, and dismantling advanced nuclear reactors, with a total power output not exceeding 800 megawatts. The public is invited to provide feedback on the proposed action and alternatives until March 19, 2021. TVA plans to consider environmental, social, and economic impacts, and anticipates the completion of the final report by Spring 2022.
Simple Explanation
The Tennessee Valley Authority wants to build a special park where some new types of nuclear power plants can help make electricity. They need to figure out if these power plants will be good or bad for the environment, and they're asking people for ideas on how to do this.
