A Utah municipal power association is expecting an influx of $1.4 billion in federal funds for the modular reactor plant it is looking to build in Idaho, but association members are still deciding whether to go forward with the 720-MW project and the completion date has recently slipped, officials said.
A massive water tank, or module, has been placed atop the containment vessel and shield building roof at Georgia Power's Vogtle 3 & 4 nuclear expansion project near Waynesboro, Ga. The installation represents the final module placement for Unit 3, marking another significant milestone for the project.
Construction is ongoing for two new nuclear reactors, Units 3 and 4, at Georgia Power's Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant in Waynesboro, Ga. — the first new nuclear reactors to be constructed in the United Stated in 30 years — that will provide electricity to more than 500,000 homes and businesses once operational.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) A plan to build the nation's first small modular nuclear reactors to produce commercial power is a step closer.
A Utah-based energy cooperative said that it has sales contracts for enough carbon-free power to begin a license application process with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build the reactors in eastern Idaho.

LOGAN, Utah (AP) A small commercial nuclear reactor that a Utah energy cooperative wants to build in Idaho would be game-changing for energy customers if the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approves the project, a high-ranking federal official said this week at a conference.
Significant progress continued the week of Dec. 18 at the Vogtle nuclear expansion site near Waynesboro, Ga., with the placement of nearly 1,300 cu. yds. of concrete inside the Unit 4 containment vessel. The continuous placement lasted 21 hours and involved more than 100 workers and more than 120 truckloads of concrete.
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's utility regulators are allowing construction to continue on two new nuclear reactors, despite massive cost overruns for the multi-billion-dollar project. The unanimous decision Dec. 21 by the state's Public Service Commission will shape the future of the nation's nuclear industry, partly because the reactors at Plant Vogtle were the first new ones to be licensed and to begin construction in the U.S.
Westinghouse Electric Company recently announced it will be leaving the nuclear reactor construction business. This move is part of a series of steps the company has taken in recent months to make changes following its March decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
