Sharon Harris a little south of Raleigh has one reactor and was designed to handle 3. Put it there.

Actually, Harris is designed for 4 reactors. I worked there in the early 80's during construction.

Also, the last line in the article says, "Progress Chief Executive Robert McGehee said this year that Shearon Harris would be the likely site for the company's nuclear expansion."

You mean it was designed to handle 3 more.
They won't be able to use any of the facilities that were supposed to be used by the other 3 reactors because of the changes they made during construction as they cancelled reactors. However they have a lot of land, and can build new buildings. The reservoirs can easily handle the extra load.

It would be a great idea because there is plenty of space in the OCA and Security has already been upgraded. It was actually built to handle 4 units, I think. It has spent fuel storage capacity for 4 units.

But sadly it probably won't happen, it's too close to Raleigh. Raleigh is growing in that direction.

Actually, it's designed to handle 4.

My office used to be located in the area where Unit 4 would have been built.
