What is to be going on in Jenkinsville, SC? Never been there, but have been to Peak, next town east of Jenkinsville.

A Westinghouse AP1000 is under construction and there is an odd looking/unique concrete anchor point for a new large gantry crane already drilled and set.

If you go to google earth and look up Jenkinsville, SC...you can clearly see the footer before it was poured. Central point with a circle being built around it....

The beatings will continue until Morale improves......

Type in Jenkinsville, S.C. in your web browser and it appears to be for a nuclear power plant.
