The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently approved a change in corporate ownership of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Units 1, 2 and 3 and the associated Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).
The change involves an indirect transfer of the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company’s (SCE&G) two-thirds interest in the facilities to Dominion Energy, Inc.
SCE&G and Dominion requested the transfer on Jan. 25, following the announcement of a proposed merger of Dominion and SCANA, SCE&G’s parent company.
SCE&G will remain the licensed two-thirds co-owner and operator of Units 1, 2, and 3 and the ISFSI. The South Carolina Public Service Authority (Santee Cooper) will maintain its one-third ownership of the units and ISFSI. The transfer does not involve Santee Cooper’s ownership interest in the Summer site.
Summer Unit 1 is a pressurized-water reactor near Jenkinsville, South Carolina that is licensed to operate through Aug. 6, 2042. Units 2 and 3 had been under construction since March 2012, but SCE&G formally ended construction on Aug. 17, 2017.
