Twelve AP1000s are in operation or are in the final construction steps. 20 more are in the planning stages.
Russia's Rosatomexport is building roughly similar VVER-1200 power plants within about ~6 years from the first concrete. E.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooppur_Nuclear_Power_Plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooppur_Nuclear_Power_Plant
They are indeed "nothing special" plants.
