You can track the latest nuclear power plant construction news. The NRC has provided a page dedicated to this. . . .

On the combined license holders page, for example, you can learn basic facts about the plants, such as their reactor types.

The latest plant to receive a combined construction and operating license is Fermi 3, in Michigan. That occurred in May, though DTE Energy hasn’t begun construction yet.
