Classical Nucleation Theory (CNT), linking rare nucleation events to the free-energy landscape of a growing nucleus, is central to understanding phase-change kinetics in passive fluids. Nucleation in nonequilibrium systems is much harder to describe because there is no free energy, but instead a dynamics-dependent quasipotential that typically must be found numerically. Here we extend CNT to a class of active phase-separating systems governed by a minimal field-theoretic model (Active Model B+). In the small noise and supersaturation limits that CNT assumes, we compute analytically the quasipotential, and hence, nucleation barrier, for liquid-vapor phase separation. Crucial to our results, detailed balance, although broken microscopically by activity, is restored along the instanton trajectory, which in CNT involves the nuclear radius as the sole reaction coordinate.
