Westinghouse in Agreement With Georgia Power for Two AP1000 Nuclear Power Plants
- First announced EPC Contract in United States in 30 years
- Plants to be built at Alvin W. Vogtle site near Waynesboro, Ga
Well, the future is now!!!!! Southern Nuclear signed an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract.
;D

Sounds great but they are at least a year away from getting NRC approval and probably another year from all the other challenges they face. I will be glad to see it but I imagine it will be at least 2020 before another plant goes online. I hope I'm wrong. But being a safety guy now the construction will keep me busy.

Can I get in on this action? I'll even give you odds - sync to grid on or after Jan 1, 2013, War Eagle owes me a dollar. Before that, I owe War Eagle a dollar and I pay for his upgrade to gold membership...
Agree?

Deal! :) This includes half-built mothballed plants, right?
