Ex-TVA Head Blasts Plans for Nuke Plants. By David Flesser, Chattanooga Times, June 13, 2008. "Former TVA Chairman S. David Freeman returned to his native Chattanooga Thursday to denounce proposals by the Tennessee Valley Authority to build more nuclear reactors. 'Unfortunately, the concern over global warming has provided an opening where the nuclear industry has risen up from the dead,' Mr. Freeman told reporters during a news conference organized by citizen groups opposed to building more nuclear reactors. 'There's a whole new generation that didn't live through the first nuclear era and frankly the industry is touting much more success than their record would support. The only thing new is the history we've forgotten'... Mr. Freeman, an 82-year-old lawyer and engineer who has headed four U.S. utilities, accused TVA officials of being 'nucleoholics' addicted to atomic power despite the agency's costly mistakes from overbuilding nuclear plants a generation ago."
