Proposed Sale of Bellefonte Nuclear Plant Site

This report is a follow-up to an interim report we issued on July 11, 2016 regarding TVA's proposed sale of Bellefonte Nuclear Plant site (Evaluation 2016-15376). Under the interim report we determined TVA had taken reasonable actions to date to promote transparency of the sales process and evaluated alternative uses for the site. In addition, we determined TVA appears to have considered the significant risks associated with selling the Bellefonte site. The objective of this follow-up evaluation was to determine if the sale of the Bellefonte site was conducted according to TVA's policies and procedures. We determined the sale complied with most of the steps in TVA's land disposal policies and procedures. However, the sale was a unique transaction that resulted in some deviations from TVA's policies and procedures. Also, we noted some land disposal guidance was outdated.
