There’s been a lot of talk about SMR’s over the years, it’s nice to see one finally being built.

Even if it comes in over budget, getting the first one done will be a great learning experience and could lead to figuring out how to do future ones cheaper.

Assuming it’s on time, completion in 2029, connected to grid in 2030.

    As far as safety, deaths are laughably low from Nuclear. Hydro has had significantly more casualty, thousands of times more.

    Counting long term emissions from coal or gas I’d assume you’d be higher as well.
