Average fuel utilization — percent of the designed fuel cycle that this unit consumes before refueling, derived from the historical burn-down trajectory. Higher = more efficient operator (refuels with less margin remaining; closer to coastdown).

Outage Days by Year

?
Total days spent in outage each year, split by scheduled refueling (blue) and forced/unplanned (red). Lower totals indicate better reliability and outage execution. Hover for details.
Across its recorded history, Vogtle 2 has spent 541 days in scheduled refueling outages and 133 days in forced or unplanned outages. Taller bars mark the years with the most downtime.
?
Duration of each outage in days, shown chronologically. Green bars are scheduled refueling outages, red bars are forced/unscheduled. The orange dashed line marks the average duration. Extended outages (>180 days) and D&D periods are excluded.

Outage Duration Trend

Vogtle 2 has 47 outages plotted here, averaging 14 days each. The most recent, in Sep 2026, was a scheduled refueling outage lasting 37 days.
?
Scheduled refueling outage durations over time. Green bars are at or below this unit's average, amber up to 30% above it, red beyond that. The dashed line is the average. Shorter outages mean better execution.

Refueling Duration Trend

Vogtle 2 has completed 19 scheduled refueling outages on record, averaging 28 days each. The most recent, in Sep 2026, ran 37 days.
?
Time in days from first power generation (>0%) to sustained full power (≥95% for 2+ consecutive days) after each scheduled refueling outage. The dashed line marks the average. Includes startup testing holds and power dips.

Startup Duration Trend

After a refueling outage, Vogtle 2 takes about 4 days to climb from first power back to full power. That average is drawn from 18 startups on record, and the most recent took 3 days.
?
Daily reactor power over the 120 days before each scheduled refueling outage, one line per refueling, lined up on the day the outage began. A coastdown is the slow decline as the fuel runs out near the end of a cycle. The highlighted line is the most recent refueling and fainter lines are older. Counts and medians cover coastdowns of a week or longer. A shutdown straight from full power, with no decline ahead of it, is what a forced outage looks like.

Coastdown Before Refueling

10 of 19 refuelings 14 days median 90% power at shutdown 0.4% per day
Vogtle 2 coasted down for a week or longer before 10 of its 19 refuelings on record. Those coastdowns ran a median of 14 days and ended near 90% power. The most recent refueling, in Sep 2026, followed a 22-day coastdown from 97% to 76%.
?
Monthly capacity factor with outage events overlaid as red bands. Green bars show average power level per month. Toggle to Daily view for raw daily data.

Power History

Over its operating life, Vogtle 2 has run at about 92.1% of its rated capacity. Across the last 12 reported months it averaged 85.8%. On the chart, green stretches near the top are full-power running, amber marks reduced power (50 to 89%), and red drops toward zero are outages.

Outage History & Daily Power Log

This table logs every recorded outage for Vogtle 2, 47 in all since 1999. Of those, 19 were scheduled refueling outages, 1 was planned maintenance and 27 were unplanned or forced. The typical outage lasted about 14 days. Where the Scheduled column shows (Model), the date is a NukeWorker projection because the utility had not published one.
