US PLANS LARGEST NUCLEAR POWER PROGRAM SINCE THE 1970S

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The Trump administration launched a partnership in October to build at least $80 billion worth of new, large-scale nuclear reactors. The money will support the construction of a type of pressurized water reactor developed by Westinghouse that can generate about 1,110 megawatts of electric power. The partnership includes profit-sharing mechanisms that will give the US government some of the upside if the initiative succeeds.
