Sequoyah Nuclear Plant is located near Soddy-Daisy.
The Tennessee Valley Authority said Wednesday it has completed its application with federal regulators to extend the operating life of its Sequoyah Nuclear Plant by another 20 years.
If approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the license extension would allow TVA to extend its original 40-year operating license of its Soddy-Daisy plant until 2040 for the Unit 1 reactor and until 2041 for the Unit 2 reactor. TVA said it expects to spend about $23 million in the renewal process, including NRC charges to TVA to review the applications.
