The completion of Georgia Power's Plant Vogtle Unit 3 marks the first new U.S. nuclear plant to achieve commercial operation in more than 30 years.

If the project team meets its schedules for Units 3 and 4, the two new nuclear units could be operational by the end of 2023.

Co-owners Oglethorpe Power and MEAG filed lawsuits seeking to freeze costs as continuing delays and monthly project costs of $200M add pressure.

Monitors expect both new nuclear units to miss their regulatory-approved commercial operation dates.

The Bechtel-led construction team will need to deliver at its best rate yet to complete Unit 3 in a year.

Georgia Power recently announced that crews working at the Plant Vogtle nuclear expansion project near Waynesboro, Ga., reached another milestone when they placed the integrated head package (IHP) for Vogtle Unit 3 atop the reactor vessel.
