Trial set to begin in lawsuit over sale of Alabama nuclear plant
Today 8:00 AM
Another day of reckoning for the long-beleaguered nuclear plant in northeast Alabama is at hand.
The lawsuit brought by the company seeking to purchase the unfinished plant, which collapsed hours before the deal’s closing date, will go to trial in U.S. District Court in Huntsville on Sunday.
Nuclear Development LLC, a company formed by Tennessee developer Franklin Haney for the purpose of purchasing Bellefonte Nuclear Plant near Scottsboro, filed a breach of contract lawsuit in 2018 against Tennessee Valley Authority – which owns the plant.
The case will be heard and decided by U.S. District Judge Liles Burke. There will be no jury.
