AREVA will serve as a key member of the team of contract partners helping the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) complete the partially finished Bellefonte 1 nuclear power plant in northern Alabama. AREVA’s scope includes engineering, construction and component-replacement work on the plant’s nuclear systems as well as fuel design and fabrication. AREVA will also supply a digital reactor Instrumentation & Control system, a completely modernized control room, and a plant simulator for training operations personnel. When complete, the 1260 MW pressurized water reactor will be one of the most modern nuclear plants in the U.S. and will produce enough electricity to supply approximately 750,000 households.
