Progress continues at the nuclear expansion site with the placement of two major components<\/strong><\/p>\n

Georgia Power<\/a> today announced the placement of more than 760 tons of major components within the turbine island for Vogtle Unit 3<\/a>\u00a0, near Waynesboro. The stator assembly, which includes the stator and the stator housing, weighs more than 460 tons. The component was constructed in Japan<\/span> and represents two of the four major subcomponents of the main generator.\u00a0 The stator is a stationary component of the main generator that works together with the rotor and exciter to generate electricity. The main generator for Plant Vogtle Unit 3 will have a total energy output of 1,117 megawatts and provide enough carbon-free energy to serve hundreds of thousands of Georgia Power customers.<\/p>\n
