As a federal agency TVA must report TRI releases from all of its operations, not just its fossil plants. Although the amounts are small, the emission numbers TVA submits are comprehensive and include substances that might be used for cleaning or maintenance activities at any TVA facility, including nuclear and hydro plants.
Only federal facilities must report releases from all operations, including nonfossil plants. Private utilities are not covered by this requirement.
