What happened to my thread on this subject? It has disappeared. Now that the reality of the danger of nuclear meltdowns affecting not just those that live nearby but the entire world is once again proving to be a very real concern, is it a new City-Data policy to disallow information about it?
I'm planning to move to this area and I'd like to try to get an idea from others who live here....what they think and or know about reactors to be built close by.

It was (properly) moved to the Columbia thread, since the subject matter deals with Columbia, not the Upstate.

It was moved. Why didn't you question the Duke plant that Duke wants to build in Gaffney?
I just heard on the radio that the Oconee nuclear plant in Salem is #8 for the most likely to have future problems... scary stuff
Can you give us more information?
Being within 200 miles of a nuclear disaster is considered bad. I'd like to know the risks of the Oconee plant because it's the closest to where I live in North Georgia.
"In Oconee, South Carolina, after discovering a flaw in a critical emergency cooling system in one of three reactors, NRC officials had to repeatedly push the operator --Duke Energy -- to see if the same flaw existed in the other reactors on site. Testing showed the NRC was right and the flaws were repaired."
However, they have been lax enough to warrant more inspections from the outside.
