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.

    Currently sitting at 98% rated power, which I’d consider online and operating at nominal conditions. https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/reactor-status/ps.html

    Hope all goes well as they transition from testing to steady state operation. Historically, Cycle 1 has has been rough for many units due minor latent equipment issues and uncaptured debris from construction. Unit 4 should have initial criticality late this year as well!
