TVA Considers Nuclear Plant at Brown's Ferry Site
TVA discussed securing an AEC permit to build a nuclear plant to meet rising regional demand. A 1,150,000 kw Paradise Plant unit is due 1969, with a 1,000,000 kw TVA nuclear facility planned for 1970. Nine nuclear plants are in operation or under construction nationwide, with Brown's Ferry possibly starting in 1966–1967 and a $1 million annual payroll.

Nuclear power plays by TVA and industry forecasts
The piece traces TVA capacity growth from 1930s steam and hydro units to Watts Bar reactors, noting 16.29 million kilowatts available and a 26 million kilowatts by 1975. It cites FCC optimism on nuclear growth, Edison Institute data, and Stathakis on fuel markets and U.S. versus world demand, projecting major shifts by 1980.

Nuclear power grows as firms pace global buildout
Westinghouse and GE project rapid nuclear expansion as boilers rise in U.S. and abroad. Analysts note Indian Point units and new sites near load centers, with plants from Shippingport to Nine Mile Point expanding output. Industry leaders predict multi‑million kilowatt growth through 1975 and beyond driven by cost declines and demand.
