Georgia Power released its first quarter progress video clip Tuesday behind the power of numbers, noting that the latest estimates on rate impact for consumers based on the Plant Vogtle construction project was substantially lower than previous estimates.
Coupled with construction milestones for Unit 3 at the facility, highlighted in the clip below, the company noted that progress in the quarter since January included placement of the 306-ton Unit 4 reactor vessel.
On Sunday, workers placed the passive residual heat removal (PRHR) heat exchanger inside the Unit 3 containment vessel. The PRHR heat exchanger is a key feature of the AP1000 reactor's passive core cooling system which is part of the larger AP1000 passive safety system. Earlier in the week, workers at the site also placed the CA55 module, weighing approximately 170,000 pounds. The CA55 module is the first roof module for the in-containment refueling water storage tank, and will be where the integrated head package is placed during a refueling outage once the unit begins operating.
Georgia Power has also released the latest Vogtle Timeline video highlighting safety, progress and efficiency at the Vogtle site for the first quarter of 2018. More than 6,000 workers are currently onsite, focused on increased productivity and safe, high-quality construction. Enjoy the clip:
