State-owned Utility Doesn't Want To Talk About Nuclear Plans

MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) — The state-owned electric utility doesn't want to talk about its plans for dealing with possible construction problems at the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station, where it is teaming with South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. to build two additional nuclear reactors. Santee Cooper senior vice president and general counsel Michael Baxley would only say that the plan approved Monday "authorizes certain contingency actions by management in the fluid situation with respect to new nuclear construction." If Westinghouse sought bankruptcy protection, it could lead to higher rates for utility customers to help pay for the reactors, the newspaper reported.
