he U.S. Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Agency (US DOE/NNSA) proposes an electrical utility infrastructure upgrade at the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12). The purpose of this action is to 1) supply the Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) with sufficient and reliable power, 2) upgrade the Y-12 electrical system with modern equipment (allows for ease of maintenance and servicing) and provide Y-12 with a reliable power supply, and 3) allow TVA to maintain the capability and reliability of their bulk transmission system. To accomplish this, NNSA will grant TVA an easement for the purpose of constructing a 161-kV substation (Pine Ridge) and two transmission lines right-of-way (ROW) corridors.
