Viewing Nuclear from the North
If you want to get a real view of the nuclear industry, heading north can offer a great panorama. Last month I travelled to Ontario to attend Foratom’s international conference on Quality, Leadership, and Management, and I was able to see some amazing things. Now, I...NAYGN Takes Advocacy to Ohio Statehouse

Watts Bar’s NAYGN members love to energize the future of nuclear especially by being involved in our communities. Throughout the past year, we have spent many hours in our local schools and at community events teaching the next generation about nuclear generation. #20for20 #NAYGN #Nuclear
TVA Watts Bar’s NAYGN chapter is excited to be part of the #20for20 takeover this week! First up, a little info about our plant and our chapter — we are one of three nuclear plants in the Tennessee Valley Authority nuclear fleet that helps provide approximately 40 percent of the low-cost, carbon-free electricity used across the Tennessee Valley. We are located in Spring City, Tennessee, and our dual-unit site produces enough power for 1.3 million homes. Our NAYGN chapter has been active for more than 10 years and currently we have more than 70 members on-site. We can’t wait to share all of the great things our chapter is doing, so stay tuned! #NAYGN #Nuclear
Thank you to FENOC - Beaver Valley chapter for doing a fantastic job giving us a chance to see all the great events, stories, and initiatives that you all have been working on. Keep up the good work!
The #20for20 takeover moves into the 6th week with TVA - Watts Bar chapter!
One week ago, Beaver Valley Power Station hosted its first Family Day since 1999. BV NAYGN was a key contributor in the organizing of the event. At Family Day, employees had the opportunity to bring their families on site to learn more about the plant and nuclear energy. NAYGN created a Virtual Tour of our site complete with videos of refueling so that everyone who came could walk away with a deeper understanding of how the plant functions. They also volunteered to stand by our replacement steam generators and give more information on the components and how they work. All who attended had a wonderful time and BV NAYGN can not wait to help plan the next one! #BeaverValley #BVMatters #20for20 #NAYGN #Nuclear
A few months ago, Core Members Lee Causey and Amanda Lang presented the Climate Interactive to the E4 Carolinas Emerging Leaders Program. Check out the takeways from the event! #GoNuke #NAYGN
