Watts Bar 2 – a look at the TVA’s impressive new nuclear power plant

Posted April 3, 2014, Length: 19:55

The hosts talk about the details of this plant, and about the outlook for nuclear power in general, with Gary Mauldin, General Manager of Project Assurance and Support Services for Watts Bar at the TVA.
