[en] Operation of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Unit 1 in Fairfield County, South Carolina is proposed. The station, situated one mile east of the Broad River near Parr, would employ a pressurized water reactor to produce a maximum of 2775 megawatts (MW) of thermal energy. A steam turbine-generator would use this heat to produce a net ouptut of 900 MW of electrical energy. Cooling water, removed from and returned to the Monticello Reservoir at a rate of 534,000 gallons per minute, would dissipate the unit's excess heat. The unit woulld transmit electrical energy through 2.6 miles of 115-kilovolt (kV) line and 117.5 miles of 230-kV line. The station would generate 475 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, contribute $18.5 million county, state, and federal taxes, add 362 jobs to the local employement rolls, and create a 300-acre subimpoundment for recreational use. Land required for site development and transmission line rights-of-way would remove 399 acres of farmland as well as 2217 acres of forestland, resulting in a loss of 20 million board feet of timber over the 30-year life of the facilities. Water releases from the cooling system would raise the temperature of the reservoir
