ACTION - Start of Annual Fees - Vogtle Unit 3 Completion of "Power Ascension Testing" and declaration of Commercial Operations Attachments: ND-23-0205.pdf Hi all, On Friday, July 28, 2023, SNC notified NRR of the successful completion of power ascension tests for Vogtle Unit 3 as required by a license condition (attached and at ML23209A830). Upon this notification, Vogtle Unit 3 is authorized to operate at steady-state power levels up to 100%

thermal power (3400 MWt). FYI, SNC also declared the start of Commercial Operation for Unit 3 on Monday July 31st. As you know, Vogtle Unit 3 is the first AP1000-designed reactor to be built and operated in the U.S.

The purpose of this email is to inform stakeholders of the plant status as well as inform OCFO of the completion of this license condition which officially starts the collection of 10 CFR Part 171 annual fees. Annual fees are now applicable to Vogtle Unit 3.

The email is being made per the Vogtle Communication Plan for License Condition Milestones 2022 - Rev1.docx.

If you have any questions, please contact the Vogtle 3&4 Sr. Project Managers Cayetano Santos, Jr. or Billy Gleaves.
