Nuclear Energy is Clean Energy
Georgia Power recently announced continued progress in the construction of the two-reactor expansion to its Plant Vogtle nuclear power plant. Bechtel is proud to partner with Georgia Power to deliver this important project – the only ongoing construction of new nuclear generation currently in the United States.
Vogtle is important because nuclear energy is important. It’s clean, efficient, safe, and must play a role in our energy future.
