Watts Bar Nuclear PlantThe TVA vice president in charge of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant left the employment of TVA on Wednesday, but TVA will not say why.
“Timothy Cleary will serve as acting site vice president for Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, effective immediately. Cleary replaces Don Grissette,” said TVA spokesman Ray Golden on Thursday.
Golden said TVA will not elaborate on Grissette’s departure.
The news came on the same day TVA announced Watts Bar worker incentives for the behind-schedule, over-budget new reactor. The incentives are to ensure the new reactor can be made operational by the end of the 2015.
TVA’s vice president for nuclear construction, Mike Skaggs, said he believes the incentives will continue recent Watts Bar improvements.
