A series of firsts delivers new Plant Vogtle units
Southern Nuclear was first when no one wanted to be.
The nuclear subsidiary of the century-old utility Southern Company, based in Atlanta, Ga., joined a pack of nuclear companies in the early 2000s—during what was then dubbed a “nuclear renaissance”—bullish on plans for new large nuclear facilities and adding thousands of new carbon-free megawatts to the grid.
In 2008, Southern Nuclear applied for a combined construction and operating license (COL), positioning the company to receive the first such license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2012. Also in 2008, Southern became the first U.S. company to sign an engineering, procurement, and construction contract for a Generation III+ reactor. Southern chose Westinghouse’s AP1000 pressurized water reactor, which was certified by the NRC in December 2011.
Fast forward a dozen years—which saw dozens of setbacks and hundreds of successes—and Southern Nuclear and its stakeholders celebrated the completion of Vogtle Units 3 and 4: the first new commercial nuclear power construction project completed in the U.S. in more than 30 years.

What is the difference between an Individual and Organization Membership? Which membership is right for me?
The Organization Membership primarily includes benefits at the company-level, the main ones being –
The Individual Membership benefits unlock full access for your employees –
If you’re a Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo and/or Winter Meeting exhibitor, or if you’re currently in a phase where you’re doing a lot of hiring, you will find great value in the Organization Membership.
If you’re primarily interested in membership as a professional development avenue for employees, the individual memberships will likely provide the best value for you.Need it all? Organization Members may also purchase bulk packages of Individual Memberships. Please reach out to organization@ans.org for a custom quote!
If I join as an Organization Member, do all my employees become members of ANS?
No, the Organization Membership program does not include flow down Individual Memberships. Organization Members have the option to purchase bulk packages of Individual Memberships. Please reach out to organization@ans.org for a custom quote!
What portion of dues goes toward lobbying?
American Nuclear Society member dues are not used for contributions to political parties or candidates or for independent expenditures on behalf of parties or candidates. Less than 1/10 of 1.0% (or 0.1%) of dues money goes to lobbying efforts. In the case of someone at the $195 dues level, this would be approximately 19 cents.
