Video Highlights 1.3 Million-Pound Delivery To Vogtle

Georgia Power has shared a clip of the arrival of the fourth and final 1.3 million-pound steam generator at the Vogtle nuclear expansion site, showing the last leg of the massive component's journey from South Korea to Waynesboro, Ga.

The steam generator for Unit 4 arrived through the Port of Savannah and traveled to the construction site near Waynesboro, Ga. via train.

Each new AP1000 unit at Plant Vogtle requires two steam generators. Steam generators, measuring more than 80 feet long, are heat exchangers used to convert water into steam using the heat produced in a nuclear reactor core.View video and comment http://nuclearstreet.com/nuclear_power_industry_news/b/nuclear_power_news/archive/2015/11/25/video-highlights-1.3-million_2d00_pound-delivery-to-vogtle-112502.aspx#.VlX8VXuKI-9
