15 October 2007 -- Bechtel Power Corp. said that TVA has chosen it to lead the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) to complete Unit 2 at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant in Spring City, Tenn.

When completed in 2012, Watts Bar Unit 2 will add approximately 1,200 MW. Work on the original plant was stopped in 1985, when it was about two-thirds complete.

The five-year, $2.5 billion project will bring the plant up to all current engineering and safety standards. Bechtel previously supplied engineering, start-up, and other technical services to the $1.8 billion restart of TVA's Browns Ferry Unit 1. Bechtel also worked for TVA on the restart of Browns Ferry Units 2 and 3 in the 1990s and performed steam generator replacements on unit 1 at TVA's Sequoyah Nuclear Plant and Watts Bar Unit 1.
