Not to mention this nuclear reactor was only shut down in 2019. They're upgrading and recommissioning something that was mothballed because the economics didn't work, all of five years ago.

People reacting to the name are imagining that this means re-opening the other unit, which melted down in 1979. It's more fun to imagine and react to that than to learn that this was an operational plant until a few years ago.
