Video Clip Highlights Q1 Progress At Vogtle Site

Georgia Power has released the latest timeline video from the Plant Vogtle nuclear expansion project, showcasing construction progress in the first quarter of 2016. Now more than 60 percent complete based on contractual milestones, progress is visible every day, the company said.

In the scenic community of Waynesboro, Georgia, a community of 5,000 residents that calls itself "the bird dog capital of the world, " the Vogtle project is the state's largest job-producing construction project with more than 5,000 construction workers onsite and 800 permanent jobs that will be available once the new units begin operation. Once all four units are online, Plant Vogtle is expected to generate more electricity than any other U.S. nuclear facility, enough to power more than one million homes and businesses.

Each milestone is a significant step in the history of the plant, but also a renewed symbol of perseverance for the U.S. nuclear power industry.

Visible highlights from the first quarter of the year include more than 1,800 cubic yards of concrete poured to fill the walls of the Unit 3 CA20 building module, a continuous 45-hour pour, continued progress on cooling towers for both units and the preparation of the Unit 3 CA03 module for placement.
