The United States currently has one nuclear reactor under construction, the fourth reactor at the Vogtle power plant in Georgia, which will be able to generate just over 1 gigawatt. (For the sake of comparison, a gigawatt is about enough to power a mid-sized city.) "China is the de...

and growth in China is particularly impressive. The country’s first nuclear power plant connected to the grid in 1991, and in just a few decades it has built the third-largest fleet in the world, after only France and the US. China has four large reactors likely to come online this yea...
After 14 years of construction, the third nuclear reactor unit at Georgia’s Plant Vogtle has finally started delivering power to customers. It’s America’s first newly built reactor in over 30 years.
a relatively old fleet. But the country has come to something of a stall. A new reactor at the Vogtle plant in Georgiacame online last year(followingsignificant delays and cost overruns), but there are no major conventional reactors under construction or in review by regulators in the US now...
