TVA to file for Clinch River SMR construction permit by June
In a Q&A posted on TVA’s website last week about a “new nuclear heyday,” Bob Deacy shared his vision for the Clinch River nuclear site in Oak Ridge, Tenn.—and some news about next steps for the company’s small modular reactor plans.
The Tennessee Valley Authority’s senior vice president for the Clinch River project, Deacy described his vision for up to four SMRs built on plots smaller than a football field with state-of-the-art digital equipment and a newly trained workforce providing reliable 24/7 power to the grid.
The ANS Standards Committee uses "ANS Collaborate" as an online collaboration tool. Each standards working group, subcommittee, consensus committee, special committee, and the Standards Board has its own password-protected site for document storage, messaging and notifications, balloting, and comment management to promote a more organized, efficient development of standards. Individuals with questions about ANS Collaborate for standards work may contact standards@ans.org.
Standards Committee members that have an established Collaborate account may access the site.
