Nuclear center to open in South Carolina
A new nuclear center will be opening up in northern Lancaster Country and is expected to create 400 jobs over the coming years.
The site will house the URS division’s commercial nuclear energy engineering and construction business. It will provide licensing, design, engineering, procurement and construction services for new nuclear-generation facilities.
“The Washington division has been providing nuclear expertise since the industry’s infancy, and we are well-positioned to help our clients build the next generation of plants needed to meet the growing demand for clean and dependable energy,” says Tom Zarges, president of URS’ Washington division. “With new nuclear facilities expected to be concentrated in the southeastern part of the country, South Carolina is an ideal location for our URS nuclear center headquarters.”
The promise of nuclear energy and new jobs: sounds like a good deal to me.
