  "textContent": "“Today marks another historic moment for America's nuclear renaissance,” said U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright. “From the first-ever airlift of a small reactor aboard a U.S. military C-17 to successful zero-power criticality testing, Valar Atomics is delivering achievements that mark a revolutionary moment for advanced nuclear in this country. The Trump administration is proud to support the rebirth of America’s nuclear industry, ensuring Americans have access to affordable, reliable and secure energy for generations to come.”\n\nThe post Department of Energy Celebrates Second Advanced Reactor Achieving Criticality appeared first on Watts Up With That?.",
