The State - News from Dec. 25, 1988

Duke Power Co. of North Carolina has suspended its bid to manage the troubled Rancho Seco nuclear generating plant south of Sacramento. The board of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, the plant’s owner and operator, failed to accept a proposal for the Charlotte-based company to manage the California plant. If Duke had taken over the plant, it would have marked the first time a utility in one state took over management of another utility’s nuclear plant in another state.
