   The Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, also known as Plant   
   Vogtle, is a 2-unit nuclear power plant located in Burke County, near   
   Waynesboro, Georgia, in the southeastern United States. It is named   
   after the Alabama Power and Southern Company board chairman, Alvin Vogtle.   
      
   Each unit has a Westinghouse pressurized water reactor (PWR), with a   
   General Electric turbine and electric generator. *Units* 1 and 2 *were*   
   *completed* in 1987 and 1989, respectively. Each unit is capable of   
   producing approximately 1,200 MW of electricity when online, for a   
   combined capacity of 2,400 MW. Southern Nuclear lists the capacity as   
   1,215 MW each, for a combined output of 2,430 MW.[1] The twin   
   natural-draft cooling towers are 548 ft (167 m) tall and provide cooling   
   to the plant's main condensers. Four smaller mechanical draft cooling   
   towers provide service water cooling to auxiliary safety and non safety   
   components and remove the decay heat from the reactor when the plant is   
   offline. One natural-draft tower and two service water towers serve each   
   unit. Natural-draft type cooling towers were also selected for the new   
   units 3 and 4 and are currently (in 2014) under construction. The two   
   new cooling towers will also be nearly 550 feet tall.   
      
   During Vogtle’s construction, capital investment required jumped from an   
   estimated $660 million to $8.87 billion.[2][3] This huge increase in   
   cost was typical of the time because of new regulations mandating   
   increased safety precautions and more robust designs, a result of the   
   Three Mile Island accident.[4]   
      
   In 2009, the *NRC renewed the licenses* for both units for an additional   
   20 years, to the 2040s.[5] *Groundwork for two additional* AP1000   
   *reactors* *is underway* .[6]   
      
      
   The *TWO NEW REACTORS* are about 2 years behind due to NRC and EPA   
   regulations.....   
      
   The pollution you are harping on is partially the fault of the Federal   
   Government and anti-nuclear Liberals in California.
