Great. We currently have one of, if not the highest unit energy cost going – This is a step in the right direction that will help competitiveness in the industrial / manufacturing space too.
Strictly speaking this is [the reactor *pressure vessel*](https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/articles/first-reactor-vessel-in-place-at-hinkley-point-c). The reactor itself, consisiting of the nuclear fuel and control rods etc, will go inside it sometime in the future. Or not.
These kinds of stories always remind me of the foreshadowing news segments that play in the background of establishing shots in Hollywood disaster movies.
Ok, now do another one with all the same people for cheaper.
