I enjoyed your post.

I haven’t had the time to compare these reports with the liftoff report by the DOE but my initial impression is that it very similar.

I believe this is the “amended”

Interesting --

Can you ask about what it would take to avoid the delays and cost overruns of the Vogtle reactors in Georgia? Or what the costs would be if Colorado's experience mirrors Georgia?

If I was doing this I first would talk to the Korean contractor who has a great track record of delivering their plants on time and at budget. Second I would talk to the contractors on the Vogtle plant because the last plant was 30% less than the previous. Find out if they learned even more that could be applied to the next job.
