Presentation: Learning from the Last Builds: Vogtle, Olkiluoto and Barakah
9:15 am - Thursday 21st January 2027
- Explaining what actually drove the overruns at Vogtle and Olkiluoto, and the specific fixes that followed
- Sharing how Korea’s KEPCO delivered Barakah in the UAE on time and on budget, and what made that possible
- Weighing live US projects like Natrium and the X-energy Seadrift build against those retrospectives
Practical Takeaway: Leave with the specific delivery and standardization decisions that separated the on-time international builds from the multi-billion-dollar overruns, and a clear view of which lessons realistically transfer to a US first fleet.
