Officials discuss future of VC Summer plant
SUMMARY: A project to build two reactors at VC Summer Nuclear Station in South Carolina, abandoned in 2017 after costing $8 billion, may soon resume.

Senator Tom Davis supports the initiative, suggesting it would ease customer costs. However, Senator Russell Ott expressed concerns about potential risks. Governor Henry McMaster emphasized the project’s importance for South Carolina’s energy needs and its potential to inspire nationwide nuclear construction.
