Friday Nuclear Matinee - V. C. Summer Construction Video

September 4, 2015, 2:46PMANS Nuclear Cafe

This week's ANS Friday Nuclear Matinee features the second quarter 2015 construction update from South Carolina Electric & Gas's V.C. Summer nuclear power plant, where two new AP1000 nuclear units are under construction. The massive size of the components and construction is well displayed in this video, which dates from late July 2015.

As a second feature we present a short, time lapse video that shows the nearly 2.5 million pound CA01 prefabricated module being lifted into place by a crane that is the largest design of crane in the world. The only other such crane is being used to also construct a nuclear plant-in Georgia, at Plant Vogtle's expansion.
