But in a 40-page decision released Friday, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board said there still are "several possible areas of concern" with the Bellefonte reactors where construction was halted in 1988.
A group of environmental organizations, including the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, objects to plans by the Tennessee Valley Authority to possibly finish the Units 1 and 2 at Bellefonte. TVA started construction on the units in 1974, suspended work in 1988, canceled the units in 2006 and then reversed itself and got NRC approval to reinstate its construction permit in 2008.
