TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY 

Final Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement, Single Nuclear Unit 

at the Bellefonte Plant Site, Jackson 

County, TN 

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority 

(TVA) 

ACTION: Issuance of Record of Decision 

(ROD) 

SUMMARY: This notice is provided in 

accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s regulations (40 

CFR parts 1500 to 1508) and TVA’s 

procedures for implementing the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). A notice of availability (NOA) 

of the Final Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement for a 

Single Nuclear Unit at the Bellefonte 

Plant Site (final SEIS) was published in 

the Federal Register on May 21, 2010. 

TVA prepared the final SEIS to update 

the extensive environmental 

information and analyses that exist 

respecting the Bellefonte site and the 

construction and operation of a nuclear 

power plant on that site. On August 20, 

2010, the TVA Board of Directors (TVA 

Board) approved the expenditure of 

$248 million for additional engineering, 

design, and licensing activities, as well 

as the procurement of long lead-time 

components for the partially complete 

Bellefonte Unit 1. This decision will 

help maintain Unit 1 as a viable 

alternative to meet the projected need 

for base load generation on the TVA 

system in 2018–2020. Bellefonte Unit 1 

is a 1,260-megawatt (MW) Babcock and 

Wilcox (B&W) -designed pressurized 

light water reactor. It is anticipated that 

the TVA Board will be asked to approve 

completion and operation of Unit 1 next 

year, depending on the results of a new 

TVA Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), 

which is scheduled for completion in 

spring 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With 

almost 37,000 MW of net dependable 

summer generating capacity, TVA 

operates the nation’s largest public 

power system, producing 4 percent of 

all the electricity in the nation. TVA 

provides electricity to most of 

Tennessee and parts of Virginia, North 

Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, 

and Kentucky. It serves about 9 million 

people in this seven-state region 

through 155 power distributors and 56 

directly served large industries and 

Federal facilities. The TVA Act requires 

the TVA power system to be selfsupporting and operated on a nonprofit 

basis and directs TVA to sell power at 

rates as low as are feasible. TVA power 

is supplied by three nuclear plants, 11 

coal-fired plants, 12 gas-fired plants, 29 

hydroelectric dams, a pumped-storage 

facility, a wind farm, a methane-gas 

cofiring facility, and several small solar 

photovoltaic facilities and through 

several power purchase agreements. 

TVA transmits electricity from these 

facilities over almost 16,000 miles of 

transmission lines. 

This final SEIS supplements and 

updates the original TVA Final 

Environmental Statement for Bellefonte 

Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 (May 1974), 

hereafter referred to as the 1974 FES; the 

TVA Final Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Bellefonte Conversion 

Project (October 1997); the U.S. 

Department of Energy’s Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Production of Tritium in a Commercial 

Light Water Reactor (March 1999), 

which TVA adopted; and the TVA 

Bellefonte Nuclear Plant Units 3 and 4, 

Combined License Application Part 3, 

Environmental Report, Revision 1 

(October 2008), hereafter referred to as 

the COLA ER. Where pertinent, the final 

SEIS incorporates by reference, utilizes, 

tiers from, and updates information 

from this substantial environmental 

record. 

The final SEIS also tiers from and 

incorporates by reference two TVA 

programmatic reviews, Energy Vision 

2020 Integrated Resource Plan Final 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement (December 1995) and 

Reservoir Operations Study Final 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement (May 2004). In June 2009, 

TVA began work on a new IRP for 

meeting future demand on the TVA 

power system over the next 20 years. 

The new IRP is scheduled to be 

completed in spring 2011. 

Background 

The Bellefonte site is located on a 

1,600-acre peninsula on the western 

shore of Guntersville Reservoir at 

Tennessee River Mile 392, near the 

town of Hollywood, Alabama. After 

completing an environmental statement 

for the project and receiving approval to 

begin construction from the Atomic 

Energy Commission, now the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC), TVA 

commenced construction of two B&W 

pressurized-water reactors at the 

Bellefonte site in 1974. TVA halted 

construction in 1988 when forecasted 

load growth began to decrease. 

Currently, Units 1 and 2 are in 

‘‘deferred’’ plant status, a designation by 

the NRC that construction permits for 

the facility exist, but construction is not 

currently active. 

In 2006, TVA joined NuStart Energy 

Development LLC to participate in a 

demonstration of NRC’s new combined 

licensing process. Using the Bellefonte 

site, TVA submitted a Combined 

License Application (COLA) to the NRC 

for two AP1000 units (designated as 

Bellefonte Units 3 and 4) in October 

2007. This application is pending. TVA
