The South Carolina House of Representatives is asking Westinghouse Electric officials to testify about a failed nuclear project in the state.

In a letter sent to the company, representatives call officials from Cranberry Township-based Westinghouse to Columbia, S.C., for a hearing March 21 about the company's role in the failed V.C. Summer Nuclear Station project.

Westinghouse was the lead contractor on the $9 billion project, which was abandoned in July 2017.

The prompt came in the form of a letter drafted by the South Carolina House's Utility Ratepayer Protection Committee, which has been tasked with investigating the failed project. The letter, signed by Rep. Russell Ott, committee chairman, and Rep. Peter McCoy Jr., committee member, demands Westinghouse attend the hearing and that the company supply the committee with its full project file, including “any and all documents and records related to the procurement, design, engineering, construction, and abandonment of the project, and all contracts or agreements related to or addressing the project.”
