Bechtel: Commercial Operations at Vogtle Unit 3 is an Important Milestone for US Nuclear Industry
Impact “much bigger than a single project”
WAYNESBORO, Ga., July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Bechtel, the engineering, procurement, and construction company brought in to complete construction on new Units 3 and 4 at the Vogtle nuclear power plant in Georgia, today issued the following statement from Brendan Bechtel, Bechtel Chairman and CEO, marking the start of commercial operations for Unit 3:
“We are extremely proud of Bechtel’s part in achieving this milestone. Our team has been 100 percent committed to Vogtle’s completion since being brought in to finish the project.
“Today’s start of commercial operations for Vogtle Unit 3 gives the Southeast a major new source of clean, reliable, carbon-free baseload energy. And, as the first new nuclear unit built in the U.S. in more than 30 years, it helps put America back on the map as a leader in the global nuclear industry.
“Bechtel has supported the design and construction of 150 nuclear plants worldwide. We know firsthand how Vogtle Units 3 and 4 go a long way in restoring America’s muscle memory in nuclear construction, including the workforce and domestic supply chains required to build America’s largest nuclear power plant. Vogtle Unit 3 comes online at a pivotal time when energy security concerns and the need to cut carbon emissions are driving growth in the world’s nuclear fleet.
“Plant Vogtle will generate more carbon-free electricity yearly than any other energy facility currently operating in the country. Its completion reinforces that the United States is the responsible partner of choice for new nuclear energy around the world, and maintains U.S. interests in ensuring strong safety, security, and non-proliferation standards. This is why Vogtle’s impact is much bigger than a single project.
“Thank you to the thousands of skilled craft professionals, union partners, engineers, project managers, procurement experts, suppliers, subcontractors, and everyone who made this day possible. And thank you to Georgia Power and Southern Nuclear for the opportunity to bring this project over the finish line. We look forward to doing the same with Unit 4 in the coming months.”
Background
In 2017, Bechtel was brought in by Georgia Power and Southern Nuclear to take over construction of Vogtle Units 3 and 4, bringing extensive experience supporting the design and construction of 150 nuclear plants worldwide. Vogtle Units 3 and 4 are the first Westinghouse AP1000 units to ever be built in the U.S.
Bechtel has completed more than 76,000 megawatts of new nuclear generation capacity and has designed, built, or performed engineering and/or construction services on more than 80% of nuclear plants in the United States. Today, the company leads efforts in designing and constructing advanced nuclear plants, critical to global efforts to achieve net zero carbon emissions.
Bechtel partnered with North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) to build Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4. At peak, Bechtel and NABTU had a combined 9,000 workers on site.

Bybit x Block Scholes Derivatives Report Uncovers BTC Call Option Boom Amidst Election Uncertainty
DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in collaboration with Blocks Scholes, is excited to unveil its latest crypto derivatives report. This insightful report explores the market’s response to recent price fluctuations and the backdrop of the upcoming U.S. election.
Key Insights:
Decline in BTC Options Implied Volatility: Surprisingly, implied volatility for Bitcoin (BTC) options has dropped, despite the looming U.S. election. Traditionally, market uncertainty would lead to increased volatility ahead of major events, like the much-anticipated BTC Spot ETF launch, making this a noteworthy deviation.
Surge in Call Option Volumes: BTC call option trading volumes have surged significantly in recent weeks, potentially signaling a shift towards a bullish market sentiment.
Muted Futures Activity: While futures trading saw positive momentum with early October’s market volatility, open interest has remained relatively subdued compared to pre-September expiration levels.
Spike in BTC Perpetual Swap Volumes: Open interest in BTC perpetual swaps remained stable; however, trading volumes surged in response to early October’s volatility spike, marking an important market movement.
Cautious Sentiment in ETH Options: Ethereum (ETH) options also saw a decline in implied volatility. Put option volumes have surpassed call volumes over the past week, suggesting traders are taking a more cautious stance regarding ETH’s future price movements.
