Georgia Power said Friday the last of six containment rings for
the Vogtle 3 & 4 nuclear expansion project has been put in
place at the construction site near Waynesboro, Ga.
Georgia Power said the ring placement was the latest of several
construction milestones recently achieved, including placement of
the final reinforced concrete portion of the Unit 4 shield building
and placement of the upper inner casing for the Unit 3
high-pressure turbine.
Plant Vogtle units 3 and 4 will be the first new nuclear units
built in the U.S. in the last three decades, Georgia Power said,
adding the project currently employs 8,000 workers and will lead to
800 jobs once the units begin operation.
Georgia Power is the largest electric subsidiary of Southern Co.
(SO).
