Almost a decade after the nation's most recent licensed nuclear power plant went on line, S.C. officials will meet with utility representatives to see if there is interest in building a reactor in the state.
The May 9 meeting in Columbia will include representatives from the state Commerce Department, the governor's office, utility officials and U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett of the state's 3rd Congressional District.
"We just want to get everyone together, see if anyone's interested in South Carolina, and then we'll move forward from there," said Tim Dangerfield, chief of staff at the Commerce Department.
