The Shaw Group and Westinghouse, the so-called "AP 1000 consortium," have signed a second major engineering, procurement and construction contract for a nuclear project in Jenkinsville, SC. This project, the second in two months, could signal the beginning of a "nuclear renaissance" in terms of new building plans for the nuclear power industry after a prolonged pause of three decades. The contract consists of two 1,117-megawatt (MW) AP 1000 reactors to be built at the 935 MW VC Summer nuclear plant site in Jenkinsville.
