Local enthusiasm grows as NuStart weighs nuclear site
Aiken County leaders welcome NuStart's plan to build a nuclear plant and name potential sites across the region. Sites include Bellefonte in Alabama, Grand Gulf in Mississippi, River Bend in Louisiana, Savannah River Site near Aiken, Calvert Cliffs in Maryland, and Nine Mile Point in New York.
