TVA Police has been made aware of recent sightings of unauthorized drones near TVA non-nuclear facilities. We are in contact with state and federal law enforcement agencies to monitor the activity and gather updated intelligence.
Over the past month, there have been multiple sightings of unidentified drones in at least ten states. Among those, one forced an airport shutdown due to the level of activity.
These drone appearances are being investigated by The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI who have indicated there is no known threat, at this time.
If you observe a drone near TVA property, please alert TVA Police at 855-476-2489 or mnc@tva.gov.?If possible, email photos or video footage of the observed drone.
Do not attempt to demobilize a drone as falling debris could pose a danger to the public, our workers or our assets.
We appreciate your attention and support of this developing situation and will provide updates as needed.
