So this means it'll take the 6 years to decide how many to buy, then 6 years to build them?
What all the nuke-enthusiasts fail to see is that this technology moves on very long timelines. It takes decades to move from a concept to an actual plant producing utility scale amounts of power. And then you still need to scale up production which is also a huge task. Anyone who expects any new reactor concept to become reality in the next couple of decades is either clueless, delusional or a snake oil salesman.
Right but these are Small Modular Reactors which are quite different to singular humongous nuclear power plants. Think more akin to Nuclear Sub's reactors; which definitely are much smaller than the typical grid reactors.
I'm gonna need the math on this one, because the conclusion here isn't supported by any obvious predicates.
But I like the "it's gonna be too long to do so let's not even think of it," as if someone's never heard an Asian proverb about planting a tree.
