I know we have a few nuke guys (@southerncaltiger ) on here, so I thought you might appreciate this. Many of you know I live and work in Abu Dhabi at the Middle East's first nuclear plant. Our third unit just was declared commercial last week, meaning we are finally getting paid for the power we are producing. Link to an article is below. Big deal for the industry and for the UAE. Proud to be a part of it. Our second unit will open the breaker tonight/tomorrow morning to begin its first refueling outage. It went breaker to breaker on its first fuel cycle, which means it ran nonstop 24/7 when it was declared operational, a rarity.
