Highlights
In response to a congressional request, GAO answered questions concerning the Department of Energy's (DOE) uranium enrichment program and its effect on the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and its customers. Specifically, GAO discussed: (1) the amount and cost of TVA power for which DOE contracted but does not intend to use; (2) differences in DOE power contract terms; (3) the cost of TVA power in comparison with other DOE power suppliers; (4) the impact of lower power costs on the DOE enrichment price; and (5) the action taken by DOE to minimize the cost of TVA power not taken.
