Track; not yet
- Why
- Vogtle Unit 3 is a completed, operating historic first (claimedReadiness 100) rather than an emerging technology to adopt -- its register value is as the causal anchor and real-world cost/schedule baseline ($36.8B total, multi-year overrun) for the 2026 US nuclear-restart wave, not as something to replicate directly.
- Next
- Monitor whether Vogtle Unit 3's now-mature AP1000 nth-of-a-kind status actually seeds a second US large-reactor commitment -- watch the Vogtle Unit 4 completion (already tracked in the register), the Crane Clean Energy Center (Three Mile Island Unit 1) restart, DOE's Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses, and the SMR wave (TerraPower Natrium, X-energy Xe-100, Kairos Hermes 2) as the actual successors building on this baseline.
