What I am talking about is the approval to build the first version of the reactor. The demo reactor. Imagine if one had to wait four years and spend half a billion dollars to get approval of your design of a windmill (not windmill farm) before you could even build the first one to see how well it would work. Progress on windmill design would be slow. Actually building the power plant with the reactor at a specific location is a different problem.
