First criticality for Watts Bar 2

The Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) newest nuclear reactor, Watts Bar unit 2, has reached first criticality. The 1165 MWe (net) pressurized water reactor is the first nuclear unit to start up in the USA since Watts Bar 1 in 1996.

It may be a fact, but I've noticed the only time you call attention to something nuclear is when it is a negative something.  You would never add a positive note nowadays about nuclear power, and this is a positive moment for nuclear power, and you just had to look for the negative in it.  Thanks so much.  Why don't you focus on yourself and fix what ails you instead of coming here and playing "ain't it awful"?

Sorry the truth is never positive or negative. It is simply the truth. I have never been a cheerleader for the industry nor will I ever be a cheerleader.

A knife is neither positive or negative until you use it maliciously and stab someone.  ::)

But most of your drivel isn't the truth, so why don't you put on your bloomers, grab your pom poms and go bother people at a fossil fuel website?
