One of the nation's last large-scale nuclear reactors will finally be able to begin loading fuel as soon as October, likely marking the beginning of the end for a construction project beset by enormous cost overruns and extensive delays.
Why it matters: Units 3 and 4 at Plant Vogtle in Georgia will almost certainly be the final fission-based, large-scale reactors built in the U.S., but their successful completion could reinvigorate efforts by U.S. companies to sell reactors abroad.
