Idaho Favored for New Nuclear Breeder Plant
Energy Secretary Don Hodel announced an Environmental Impact Study on a heavy water reactor at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory as the preferred site, replacing Savannah River Plant. The study will compare options including a pressurized water reactor at Hanford and a high temperature gas cooled reactor at Hanford or Idaho, with a final budget recommendation to the president if the EIS passes.

Aiken Officials Dejected As Idaho Wins Nuclear Project
Local officials protest loss of a $4 billion breeder reactor to Idaho National Lab. DOE will study environmental impacts while Idaho lobbied for the site, aiming to create up to 4,000 jobs during construction and about 2,000 permanent positions. Local leaders blame public reaction and politics.

SCE&G to Become Nuclear Utility with V C Summer Plant
South Carolina Electric and Gas will begin commercial operation of the V C Summer Nuclear Station this fall, marking a decade long, 1.3 billion project. Originally forecast at 300 million in 1973, cost rose due to inflation, high interest, design changes and stricter regulatory demands after Three Mile Island.

Summer Nuclear Plant Expansion Divides SCE&G PSA
Rebecca McSwain of the V C Summer Nuclear Information Center outlines SCE&G and Santee Cooper’s partnership with the South Carolina Public Service Authority and plans to sell another third of the plant stake. If successful, SCE&G would hold 300 000 kilowatts of the 900 000 kilowatt capacity, boosting excess generating capacity to 55 percent amid projected rate impacts and demand forecasts for the 1990s.
