First of all, TVA has been cited again. Its Browns Ferry nuclear plant has been given the worst rating in the country by the nuclear regulatory commission.

This marks the ninth time in three years that TVA has been cited for violating safety standards at its nuclear reactors.

The latest citation comes after an incident when a plant operator failed to follow proper procedures and the Browns Ferry reactor was shutdown.

TVA has asked for a meeting Wednesday to argue against the citation, which could lead to further safety inspections.
