Officials at South Carolina's state-owned utility say they paid nearly $9 million in performance bonuses to executives of a private utility for two nuclear reactors that were never finished.
Santee Cooper spokeswoman Mollie Gore says the public utility refused to pay a final $3.2 million that SCANA Corp. billed them for in August, a month after construction on the reactors was abandoned.
