Sightseeing from 30,000 Feet - April 22, 2008 - Part 5 - Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Tennessee



The Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, on the Tennessee River, is run by the Tennessee Valley Authority. It apparently took a really long time to build: construction began in 1973, and it didn't go on line until 1993. The town on the opposite bank, behind the plume of steam, is Forest Grove (though there doesn't seem to be much of a town there).
