For now, though, the work at Plant Vogtle in Georgia is going ahead full-steam. The first of the new reactors there is expected to be up and running by 2016.

不过目前，佐治亚州 Plant Vogtle 的工作正在全速进行。那里的第一座新反应堆预计将于 2016 年启动并运行。

And my further question about this design, does this look as though it's the beginning of something, a new era, something much bigger than just this Vogtle plant in Georgia?

我对这个设计的进一步问题是，这看起来像是某种东西的开始，一个新时代，比佐治亚州 Vogtle 工厂更大的东西吗？

They're to be built at the Plant Vogtle facility, where two existing reactors have operated since the late 1980s. The plant is situated near Waynesboro, Georgia, 34 miles southeast of Augusta, 170 miles east of Atlanta.

它们将在 Plant Vogtle 工厂建造，那里有两个现有的反应堆自 1980 年代后期以来一直在运行。该工厂位于佐治亚州韦恩斯伯勒附近，奥古斯塔东南 34 英里，亚特兰大以东 170 英里。

The two reactors being constructed in  the United States and the Vogtle project in Georgia are running at around  $30 billion dollars at this point, and that amount of cost is too  much for most utilities to bear.

在美国建造的两个反应堆和佐治亚州的 Vogtle 项目目前的运行成本约为 300 亿美元，而这一数额的成本对于大多数公用事业公司来说是无法承受的。

Well, Stephen Smith, these are new designs, right, for the reactors at the Vogtle plant, a Westinghouse AP1000, that it is said, at least, supposedly incorporates some of what were the lessons from Fukushima. What do you think?

好吧，史蒂芬·史密斯，这些是新设计，对吧，用于 Vogtle 核电站的反应堆，西屋 AP1000，据说，至少，据说它吸收了福岛的一些教训。你怎么看？
