First U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in decades enters commercial operation in Georgia::ATLANTA — A new reactor at a nuclear power plant in Georgia has entered commercial operation, becoming the first new American reactor built from scratch in decades.
Im going to guess it means that it uses a new design of nuclear reactor because I doubt theyre repurposing an old building and slapping uranium in it
Oh. I thought like they had to roll and mill all the metal components, that they forged themselves out of ore they dug up in Georgia.

I know almost nothing about nuclear power other than it’s the most efficient, so you must be right lol 👍
