- 13 Knoxville, TN, 37918 Email: sgraymond@outlook.com Organization: n/a Submitter Information General Comment Please stop letting TV A waste more millions pursuing nuclear energy. Even the Small Modular Reactors are not economically feasible and are still considered experimental technology for which there are no* approved reactor designs. All nuclear power generation is hugely water-intensive and produces radioactive waste for which there is no practical long-term storage. We in this area are still dealing with the effects of contamination from the facility at Oak Ridge, and storage facilities for that waste are either full or leaking.
Affordable alternatives exist in wind and solar, both of which create many more long-term jobs than nuclear does. There are no hazardous waste spills to have to deal with and per kWh costs continue to drop.
TVA has a poor history of handling its nuclear division. Let's not throw more good money after bad.
