Don't forget:

* $10B+ wasted on completely failed SC nuclear plant, which basically led to its collapse and subsequent buyout by out-of-state (Dominion) utility https://apnews.com/article/sc-state-wire-south-carolina-busi...

* GA version is still lurching to completion... at cost now approaching $30B https://www.ajc.com/news/as-vogtles-nuclear-units-move-towar...

Vogtie really is going to scare a lot of people off from nuclear for a very long time. I think ultimately, the federal government will need to assume responsibility for the construction and operation of nuclear plants. And when future generations look into why that is, Vogtie will be right up at the top of the list of reasons.
Governments just need to stop wasting public money on them. Take them over, shut them down.
