Site Named For Nuclear Plant In South Carolina
The Virginia Nuclear Power Associates CVNPA seeks AEC approval to build a $17 million privately owned nuclear plant at Parr Shoals South Carolina on the Broad River about 25 miles north of Columbia. Four private companies form CVNPA Duke Power Carolinas Power & Light SCE&G and Virginia Electric & Power. The reactor would use slightly enriched uranium and must meet safety specifications before an operating license is granted. Project hoped to be completed by 1962 and would be the Southeast’s only private nuclear plant.
