The criminal charges keep coming over South Carolina's V.C. Summer nuclear power plant project, which was shut down in 2017 after a waste of billions of dollars.
Two months after earning a guilty plea from a former Westinghouse Electric Co. project director, the South Carolina U.S. Attorney’s Office on Aug. 18 announced a 16-count indictment against a former executive, Jeffrey Alan Benjamin. He was positioned higher on the Westinghouse corporate hierarchy during a key period of the so-called nuclear debacle.
