(Columbia, SC) -- There's new hope that valuable nuclear reactor equipment won't be allowed to waste away.
Santee Cooper officials announced yesterday it will hire a company to preserve equipment left behind at the abandoned Fairfield County reactor site. Santee Cooper is a minority partner of SCANA in two unfinished reactors.
Also, state regulators yesterday urged the Public Service Commission to invite SCANA to a hearing to explain their future plans for the sites.
