Were there really a sufficient number of lessons learned during the course of construction that there’s any reason to think that a new AP1000 or unit of similar scale will be constructed anywhere else in the United States? I cannot imagine the industrial base or institutional knowledge is better in 2023 than, say, 10 years ago was when at least Vogtle, Summer and Watts Bar were all under construction.
Maybe there’s a future for modular reactors or some other design, but Vogtle seems like a dead end.
