Description

The Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, also known as Plant Vogtle (), is a two-unit nuclear power plant located in Burke County, near Waynesboro, Georgia, in the southeastern United States. It is named after a former Alabama Power and Southern Company board chairman, Alvin Vogtle.

Each unit has a Westinghouse pressurized water reactor , with a General Electric steam turbine and electric generator.
Units 1 and 2 were completed in 1987 and 1989, respectively.
Each unit has a gross electricity generation capacity of 1,215 MW, for a combined capacity of 2,430 MW.
The twin natural-draft cooling towers are 548 ft tall and provide cooling to the plant's main condensers.
Four smaller mechanical draft cooling towers provide nuclear service cooling water to safety and auxiliary non-safety components, as well as remove the decay heat from the reactor when the plant is offline.
One natural-draft tower and two NSCW towers serve each unit.
In 2009, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission renewed the licenses for both units for an additional 20 years to 1/16/2047 for Unit 1, and 2/9/2049 for Unit 2. During Vogtle's first two units construction, capital investment required jumped from an estimated $660 million to $8.87 billion.
