  • Europe isn't the only place in the world that is considering investments in nuclear energy. The photo shows a US Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspector at the Vogtle Unit 4 plant on the Savannah River in Georgia, as it generated just enough electricity to connect to the grid for the first time. Vogtle Unit 4 came on line in late April 2024. The four units are now the single largest source of nuclear energy in the United States. Photo: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, CC By 2.0
