Everyone keeps complaining about the budget and cost...but coming through COVID at only 2x isn't unexpected.

It's also a pretty big obstacle when the company you hired to design and build the reactor core folds.

Lessons were learned and the next one will be faster and cheaper.

I hope we build more for the sake of the climate.
