During the three months ended December 31, 2018, other income (expense), net increased $12 million primarily driven by $21 million of other income related to a deposit liability received by TVA as a down payment on the sale of Bellefonte Nuclear Plant ("Bellefonte").  The purchaser, Nuclear Development, LLC, failed to fulfill the requirements of the sales contract with respect to obtaining NRC approval of the transfer of required nuclear licenses and payment of the remainder of the selling price before the November 30, 2018, closing date.  The other income was partially offset by $7 million of unrealized losses on the SERP and DCP investments during the quarter.
