Where are they building those four domestic nuke plants?

How safe are they compared to the previous generations of nuke power plant generation technology?

Vogtle 3 and 4 are in Georgia
VC Summer 3 and 4 in South Carolina

All 4 are the AP1000 design, which are the next generation of plants. Each uses “passive cooling” which means that the plants will operate for three days with zero human intervention and for several months with very minimal intervention...such plants would have survived Fukushima
