The purpose of this paper is to examine the short-term future prospects for major industrial coal movements on the Tennessee River Waterway. The discussion centers on the historical and current volume of TVA coal and coal traffic of other major shippers that utilize the Tennessee River system as their primary means of transportation. Emphasis is placed on estimating future TVA Tennessee River coal traffic when nuclear power is restored and becomes the base load in the TVA power system. Export coal products are also briefly discussed. The paper is based on coal forecasts in the March 1988 ''Commodity Traffic and Benefit Study for Navigation Improvements on the Upper Tennessee River,'' and information provided by TVA's Fossil Fuels Planning Branch. It should be useful in planning to meet the requirements of coal movements on the Tennessee River system to the year 2000. 8 figs., 2 tabs.
