Building individual prestige one-off projects will always be a bad idea. This is the kind of things government do if they just need to hand out pieces of the pie to everybody.
A better example would be what South Korea has done in the UAE. Building 4 reactors 1 after the other in a country with no experience and no labor force. They did it pretty quickly and the unit price and unit speed goes up with every one.
In the UAE, construction started 2012, commissioned 2020. But importantly, after that they finish every year.
In reality, nuclear is not actually that slow if a government is really willing to do it and build a plant that has been built before.
