Please name for me the nuclear power plant that is currently in private hands and not the direct control of either a federal or state government agency.

All Nuclear plants in the US are governed by safety rules set by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, but they have no say whatsoever about how these plants are run as long as they follow the public safety rules. All Nuclear plants are privately owned, with the exception of TVA, which is a hybrid situation, but receives NO public tax money and is self-sustaining.

Subsidies, not ownership. The US has always worked to influence economic factors.
