what's our supply of people and equipment capable of building safe nuclear power plants? I'm going to take a wild stab and proclaim that supply is relatively inelastic and possibly extremely so in the short term...
So i'm guessing it probably is pretty close to impossible to build too many in one go simultaneously, like other relative mega-structures or infrastructure, you are generally limited to a handful in generalized localities at any one time.

You can go from the existing stock of people with degrees in things like physics and chemistry to a graduate degree in nuclear engineering in less than three years, much less doing that for construction work.
