Nowadays it takes an average of about 16 years to build a commercial nuclear reactor, and the Department of Energy has been working for four decades on constructing a nuclear-waste-storage facility, without getting the job done.

Only in silly places like the United States.

In most places it takes no more than 6 years.

I’m hopeful that it won’t take so long once we start building AP-1000 Reactors.
