SCE&G suspends plans to ask US NRC for license to build new nukes

Washington (Platts)--25Jan2008

Scana Corp.'s South Carolina Electric & Gas utility has suspended plans
to submit to federal regulators an application for a combined construction
permit-operating license for a new nuclear plant, spokesman Robert Yanity said
Friday.

Yanity said the utility has put its nuclear plans on hold while it
examines other options for meeting future baseload power needs.

SCE&G was expected to submit to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission by
late 2007 an application for a COL for two AP1000 reactors at its Summer site
in South Carolina.
