Great question, John, thanks. I’ve never seen this addressed explicitly (Angela B., Susan O’Do, or anyone else who’s steeped in the details, have you?). But the implication has always been that they’re delivering 300 MW electrical.

Long time, no talk to. I wish you would have made it clearer whether the plant will be 300 MW electrical or thermal. Nuke plants are only about 32% efficient, so it makes a huge difference. 300 MW thermal is about 100 MW elecrical.
