Summary
Georgia Power announced that the Vogtle nuclear reactor unit 3 has started nuclear reaction, which is the first time in almost seven years that a new nuclear reactor has started up in the United States. This is an exciting time as the reactor will provide clean and emission-free energy for the next 60 to 80 years. The cost associated with building nuclear reactors is a major barrier to potential resurgence in nuclear energy, however the current increased sense of urgency in responding to climate change has given nuclear energy a chance at a renaissance.
