Vogtle Units 3 and 4 started a supply chain in the US. Especially Unit 3, which is one of the reasons it was so expensive: a lot of things had to be learned. Unit 4 was (IIRC) 30% cheaper than Unit 3 because a bit of a workflow was developed.
Any future US AP1000 units should be better than Vogtle—if people don't try to re-invent the wheel and use the same trail used in that project.
