Whoops was the acronym for a bunch of nukes that were supposed to use a
cookie cutter design. Course it never turned out that way.
The original was Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS). Only one
of 5 ever came on line. More Billion$ down the tube.
As someone once said "when the govt is involved, better get a tight hold
onto your wallet"!

Washington had a massive fraud event on a pretty egregious level. Billions of

public utilities sold bonds for the build. Rate payers ended up with the bill.
This was around 1984. Known as Whoops! We were going to get electrons for
less than it cost to suck them out of the rivers with dams. Screw BPA.
A person would think somebody would have done a bit of research and found this
out.

This thing is turning out to be the most massive fraud ever perpetrated on the
public (SC anyway) and a goodly fraction of our elected “representatives” are
totally complicit in it. The utility and its investors need to take the haircut
and a whole bunch from top to bottom public and private and in-between need to
go to prison after losing everything they have.

UTILITIESScana accountant testifies she was made to lie about reactor
costsPublished:
Tuesday, August 7, 2018
A former accountant for Scana Corp. has testified that top executives at
the utility pressured her to lie to regulators about how much it would cost
to complete a S.C. nuclear project that was later abandoned.
Carlette Walker, who was responsible for spending oversight at the V.C.
Summer project, had to give sworn statements to state regulators on the
increased rates that subsidiary SCE&G was charging customers to fund the
two reactors.
Walker said she quit in June 2016 "because I wasn't going to lie," and
named a former chief executive, a former operations chief and former chief
financial officer when asked during the deposition who forced her to lie.
A voicemail left by Walker in early 2016 was also played for the circuit
court judge, who is overseeing the civil suit that seeks $2 billion in
compensation for utility customers — the amount they've paid to date for
the project.
In the voicemail, Walker is heard accusing Scana executives of "breaking
every friggin' law that you can break," and propping up the project to hit
profit targets and collect millions in bonuses (Tom Barton, Columbia [S.C.]
