Ex-#Westinghouse exec pleads guilty to charge in failed #SCANA #nuclear plant
By Caitlin Ashworth, December 14, 2023
COLUMBIA — "As part of the final case related to South Carolina’s failed nuclear plant, a former top #WestinghouseElectric Co. executive pleaded guilty to a charge related to the abandoned project.
"In the decadelong $9 billion project, now-defunct electric provider SCANA and the state-owned utility #SanteeCooper attempted to complete two #NuclearPower reactors, adding to the existing reactor at the #VCSummer site in #JenkinsvilleSouthCarolina.
"But as construction problems mounted, costs rose, schedules slipped and the true status of the project was hidden, according to court filings. The project was eventually abandoned, leading to mass layoffs and higher bills for utility customers."
