The Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant is located on the Tennessee River near Decatur and Athens, Alabama, on the north side of Wheeler Lake. The nuclear power plant is named after a ferry that operated at the site until the middle of the 20th century. The site has three General Electric boiling water reactor (BWR) nuclear generating units and is owned entirely by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Browns Ferry was TVA's first nuclear power plant; its approval occurred on June 17, 1966 and construction began in September 1966. In 1974, the time of its initial operation, it was the largest nuclear plant in the world. It was the first nuclear plant in the world to generate more than 1 gigawatt of power.

In 2006, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) renewed the licenses for all three reactors, extending them for an additional twenty years.

South Carolina is the third largest generator of nuclear electricity. The pair of light water reactors at the Catawba plant are the largest in the State (although, with three reactors, the Oconee plant has the most nuclear capacity in the southeastern United States). Catawba is located on a 391-acre peninsula.

The Elza Gate Site, located in Melton Lake Industrial Park , Oak Ridge , Tennessee , was used by the Manhattan Engineer District to store high-grade uranium ore and ore processing residues in the early 1940s. The site was transferred to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in 1946 and was used as an equipment storage area for Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In the 1970s, the site was vacated and decontaminated, transferred to the City of Oak Ridge, and later sold to a private metal fabrication company.

In 1988, the property was surveyed for contamination and was transferred to FUSRAP. In 1991 and 1992, DOE remediated radioactive contamination on concrete pads and in soils and removed polychlorinated biphenyl and lead contamination. The site was released for unrestricted use in 1993.

No supplemental limits or institutional controls are in effect at the site, and DOE does not require on-site monitoring or surveillance. Legacy management activities consist of managing site records and responding to stakeholder inquiries.

Since 1956, the primary mission of Pinellas has been to develop and produce neutron generators for the nation's nuclear weapons program. These unique components consist of a miniaturized linear ion accelerator and pulsed electrical power supply. To produce these devices, the Plant has acquired facilities and expertise that have broader commercial applicability.

The Savannah River Site is a key Department of Energy (DOE) industrial complex dedicated to the National Nuclear Security Administration program, that supports the DOE national security and non-proliferation programs, and the EM program that addresses the reduction of risks through safe stabilization, treatment, and disposition of legacy nuclear materials, spent nuclear fuel, and waste.

The Savannah River Site encompasses over 300 square miles with more than 1,000 facilities concentrated within only 10 percent of the total land area. As cleanup activities are completed, operations will be concentrated to the site central core area. The land surrounding the central core area provides a protective buffer. All EM facilities and inactive waste units are being deactivated, decommissioned, and remediated. Facility decommissioning alternatives include demolition and in-situ disposal. However, if a viable reuse is identified, the DOE Savannah River Operations Office will remove a facility or group of facilities from the decommissioning scope.

The Savannah River Site is divided into 18 site areas, according to the types of mission activities that occurred at each. All waste types will be treated, stored and disposed. All nuclear material will be stabilized and safely stored. Groundwater contaminant plumes will be remediated to meet drinking water standards.

The Virgil C. Summer nuclear station occupies a site near Jenkinsville in Fairfield County, South Carolina. The site includes the decommissioned experimental CVTR unit. Monticello reservoir provides cooling water and feeds a pumped storage unit. In 2001, the Summer unit operated at 79.9 percent of capacity, producing 6.76 billion kilowatthours of electricity. About two-thirds (66.7 percent) of the Summer plant is owned by its operator, the South Carolina Electric & Gas Company. The remaining 33.3 percent is owned by the South Carolina Public Service Authority.

The Watts Bar 1 nuclear reactor is located between Chattanooga and Knoxville on a 1,770-acre site. The next-to-last reactor in alphabetical sequence, Watts Bar is the last reactor to come on line in the United States (as of December 31, 2002). Watts Bar supplies enough electricity for about 250,000 households in the Tennessee Valley. Unit 2 was about 80 percent complete when construction stopped in the early 1990s.
