First of all, nuclear plants in the greater Chattanooga area have achieved a high ranking -- for complaints.

A new report tracking allegations at more than 100 nuclear reactors across the country found Watts Bar and Sequoyah in the top five last year.
Nuclear plants usually have a small handful of allegations, but last year Browns Ferry had 16, Sequoyah had 19, and Watts Bar had 21 allegations.
TVA was the only utility with more than one plant on the list.
In fact, the number of concerns reported to TVA decreased while complaints to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission increased.
That's cause for concern, according to nuclear safety expert Dave Lochbaum.
Lochbaum said he's concerned that workers, quote "seem to have lost confidence in management and must find outside avenues for raising those concerns."
