COLUMBIA — "As part of the final case related to South Carolina’s failed nuclear plant, a former top #WestinghouseElectric Co. executive pleaded guilty to a charge related to the abandoned project.
"In the decadelong $9 billion project, now-defunct electric provider SCANA and the state-owned utility #SanteeCooper attempted to complete two #NuclearPower reactors, adding to the existing reactor at the #VCSummer site in #JenkinsvilleSouthCarolina.
