what does built "from scratch" mean? Just a more emphatic way of saying "built?" Or that it wasn't repurposed out of some already built building?
Im going to guess it means that it uses a new design of nuclear reactor because I doubt theyre repurposing an old building and slapping uranium in it
Oh. I thought like they had to roll and mill all the metal components, that they forged themselves out of ore they dug up in Georgia.
