it's too expensive because of resistance from hippies who constantly interfere with more regulations and changing regulations and requirements. They can be built safely and cheaply and mined with local swedish uranium if not for all of the ever shifting regulations from the political resistance tactics.

Even Chinese reactors, constructed under a regime that criminalizes hippies and regulates only for the benefit of the party leaders, are reliably late and over budget. Ex: Fangchenggang-3 is a new unit of an existing design on an already-operating site. It began construction 8 years ago, was supposed to be operational two years ago, and hasn't reached criticality yet. It just doesn't work. You can blame your political enemies if you want, but that's not going to make a reactor appear.
