South Texas nuke plant to cut 60 Jobs

At least 60 positions at Bay City’s South Texas Project nuclear plant will be eliminated because of a plan to slow down the facility’s expansion.

Nuclear Innovation North America LLC said on March 22 it is scaling back plans to add an additional two nuclear reactors to the facility, which already operates two reactors.

Nuclear Innovation a joint partnership between New Jersey-based NRG Energy Inc. (NYSE: NRG) and Toshiba Corp.

One hundred employees, some staff members of the South Texas Project Plant, some contract workers, were working on expansion plans.

Some of the South Texas Project employees will be transferred to other parts of the plant, said David Knox, spokesman for NRG Energy.
