The fact that nuclear projects require this sort of huge, long term projects, instead of a quick buildout as compared to solar, does indeed mean that all of tha

  When you're not building on a new design at a scale never done before, it is a very different story from the case of OL3. Just take a look at how the French built their currently serving reactors in the 1970s - more than 30 units with the same design were build in a timeframe of about 10 years. High degree of standardization has significant benefits also in the nuclear space. But of course you're right - it's very easy to deploy a bunch of solar panels compared to building a nuclear plant. And once you're done, you get to start to figure out the energy storage part - which in many practical settings is still mostly an unsolved problem.
