	Green Scissors 2003 Tennessee Valley Authority's Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant
		In 1985, TVA closed the three units of the Browns Ferry plant after admitting to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that its architectural drawings did not match the physical layout of the plants, posing potential safety and security problems.
		In addition to restarting the Browns Ferry reactor, TVA also proposes boosting Unit 1's generating capacity from 1,050 megawatts to nearly 1,300 megawatts and extending the reactor's operating license, currently scheduled to expire in 2013, for an additional 20 years.
		The containment system for the Browns Ferry Unit 1 is of notoriously weak design which makes it vulnerable to accidental overpressurization and over-temperature accidents as well as deliberate acts of sabotage from the crash of general and commercial aircraft.

		The NRC should evaluate the decommissioning trust fund balances for TVA’s Browns Ferry units and how decommissioning will be impacted by extending the operating licenses of all three units. The NRC should also ensure that sufficient decommissioning funds would be in place in order to protect utility ratepayers and taxpayers.
		TVA should be required to explore energy efficiency and conservation measures that could be implemented in within their service territory to offset the needs of license extension. In addition, other electricity generating technologies, such as solar, wind, and biomass should be investigated.
		In all likelihood, license renewal at Browns Ferry reactors would exacerbate existing space issues regarding onsite spent fuel, and create 20 years’ worth of additional, dangerous high-level waste, with no practicable or thorough means of securing it.
