ATHENS – The first and largest of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s three nuclear plants has new leadership with the promotion of Daniel Komm as the site vice president for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant near Athens.

Outgoing site Vice President Manu Sivaraman is moving into an enterprise-wide project role in Human Resources, TVA said in a news release.

Komm most recently served as plant manager at Browns Ferry. Komm joined TVA in 2021 when he served as the assistant plant manager at Browns Ferry, which has three boiling water reactors producing about 20 percent of TVA’s total generation capacity. Browns Ferry can produce up to 3,954 MW of electricity

Prior to joining TVA, Komm spent 18 years with Southern Nuclear Co. where he got his start as an engineer and held a variety of roles, including Operations Director at Hatch. He also served as Work Management Director at Plant Vogtle. Komm has led three stations as plant manager from 2018 to 2020 including Vogtle, Farley and Hatch.

Also last month, TVA named Chris Reneau site vice president for the Watts Bar nuclear plant near Spring City, Tenn.

Former Site Vice President Tony Williams was named Vice President, Outage Services and Supplemental Resources for TVA’s entire nuclear fleet.
