This is FALSE. The World Nuclear Industry Status Report[1] "estimates that since 2009 the average construction time for reactors worldwide was just under 10 years, well above the estimate given by industry body the World Nuclear Association (WNA) of between 5 and 8.5 years." The most promising SMR project is already hitting the same delays and cost overruns that plague the nuclear industry.

Quote: "announced that completion of the project would be delayed by 3 years to 2030.
