Phipps Bend Nuclear Plant Polysilicon Manufacturing Facility
Sector: Solar • Location: Hawkins County, Tennessee, United States
Source: Interesting Engineering
Redevelopment of about 140 acres at the former Phipps Bend Nuclear Plant in Hawkins County, Tennessee, to host a 16,000 metric tons polysilicon plant anchored by Highland Materials. The plant will use an advanced aluminum–silicon alloy smelting process that is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, producing solar-grade polysilicon for solar cells.
