It's been a long time — and a price tag of $30 billion — but the first US nuclear reactor will go online soon in Georgia.

It’s also like 5 years late and an obscene amount of money over budget, but better late than never I suppose. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  Sounds like normal construction projects to me lmao.
  
  Still unfortunate, but exciting overall. Looking forward to minireactors the most.
