The post Santee Cooper Seeks Proposals to Complete AP1000 Units at V.C. Summer Nuclear Site appeared first on POWER Magazine.

Inspection findings published on September 12, 2024, by the South Carolina Governor’s Nuclear Advisory Council revealed a remarkably well-preserved site at the abandoned V.C. Summer Units 2 and 3. Major components, including steam generators, reactor coolant pumps, and diesel generators, were either installed or securely stored, while Unit 2, at approximately 48% completion, featured a containment structure in “excellent” condition. Warehouses filled with critical materials, such as valve assemblies and electrical systems, remained intact and climate-controlled. Despite seven years of inactivity, site facilities—ranging from the turbine hall to the administration building—exhibited minimal signs of degradation, demonstrating significant potential for project revival, the findings suggest.
