Probably not a coincidence that it happened in the place with the lowest (unaudited) costs.
The US nuclear program is first class when it comes to accountability, reliability, and safety but this is also the reason that it costs upwards of $12/W excluding the publicly funded portions of the NRC's budget (which is one of the moredirect places the trillion dollar free insurance manifests) and various other subsidies. You either get the safety or you get rid of the red tape driving up costs.

- ch4s3 4y agoNo one is “shouting get rid of all the red tape” with respect to nuclear power in the US. There are safety experts urging a more scientific approach.
