Vogtle Units 3 & 4: By The Numbers
The Plant Vogtle expansion was a historic achievement. Here are some numbers that help to put the feat in perspective.
- 9,000 construction workers at its peak
- 25,000 tons of steel (enough to build 27,000+ cars)
- 700,000 cubic yards of concrete (enough to build a sidewalk from Miami to Seattle)
- 600,000 lbs. – the weight of each reactor vessel for Units 3 & 4 (more than the Statue of Liberty)
- 7 million linear feet of cable
- 100 miles of piping that carries water throughout Units 3 & 4
- 1.3 million linear feet of conduit and supports
- 500,000 linear feet of pipe
- 1,600 people who currently support operations for the Units 3 & 4
