The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has given approval for two nuclear reactors in South Carolina. SCANA Corporation and Santee Cooper have been authorized to build the reactors at the Summer nuclear site in South Carolina’s Fairfield County. The project marks only the second time in the last 30 years that the NRC has approved new reactors. Earlier this year, the NRC also voted to allow Southern Company’s plan for two new reactors at the Vogtle plant in eastern Georgia. As was the case in the Vogtle bid, NRC chair Gregory Jaczko cast the board’s sole dissenting vote.
