Great news!

I don't know much about nuclear power, but from what I hear it is clean with a very small chance of problems if taken care of correctly. Chance to make money efficiently and greenly. Is anyone opposed to this?

"There are risks of the unit itself sinking, there are risks in towing the units to where they need to be," he said.
