    I believe it still mostly is, but a key part of most is that it is not all, so its ok to have a few posts here and there about the economics and/or geopolitics. Tbh one of the more interesting parts to me was the struggle of getting production started because fuel production has to start a few years before reactor start, so there is a large supply/demand hurdle to get over, and it’s interesting the difference in how it was done the first time when nuclear energy was just starting out as opposed to now.
