Wikipedia says it’s not “Brown’s Ferry”, it’s “Browns Ferry”.

Also, this is a plant that’s been producing since 1975 (off and on). Wonder what the “similar” project was at BF?

Anyone having a name that looks like alphabet soup and of Middle Eastern descent should be heavily scrutinized. Period. Gee, I hope this is not profiling!

One might ask why TVA, a federal agency, is hiring foreigners to work in critical facilities, especially given that the “official” unemployment rate in the US hovers near 10%. And especially one from Iran, which is assuredly an anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Freedom nation.

Brown's Ferry, all 3 generating units, is in service. It has been for quite some time. Two of the units have been operating for decades.

He is emptying out bank accounts before he skedaddles to Iran one step ahead of the law. My wild guess is he has been sending intel home
