Ex-Westinghouse Chief to Plead Guilty in Nuclear Scandal
Columbia, SC – In a shocking turn of events, Carl Dean Churchman, the former Vice President and Project Director of the V.C. Summer Nuclear project at Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is set to plead guilty to making a false statement to an FBI agent in connection with the failed nuclear project.
According to sources, Churchman will appear before the Honorable Mary Geiger Lewis at the Matthew J. Perry Federal Courthouse in Columbia on Thursday, June 10, at 10:00 a.m. to enter his plea. The federal investigation into the V.C. Summer nuclear project has been ongoing since the project’s collapse.
The V.C. Summer nuclear project was a multi-billion dollar endeavor that aimed to construct two nuclear reactors at the V.C. Summer site in South Carolina. However, the project was plagued by cost overruns, delays, and technical issues, ultimately leading to its abandonment in 2017.
Churchman’s guilty plea is a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the V.C. Summer nuclear project. The exact terms of the plea deal have not been disclosed, but it is expected to be a major blow to Churchman’s reputation and potentially others involved in the project.
Acting U.S. Attorney M. Rhett DeHart will be available for media questions after the hearing, providing further insight into the case.
