Nothing wrong per se, it's just a logistical nightmare.
The other day Finland finally connected its latest nuclear power plant - Olkiluoto 3 to the grid. It will play a crucial role in securing the country's access to energy.
Took 18 years instead of the 5 originally planned and €11bln instead of €3bln.
Mind you, it was still worth it, but given the upfront cost it's hard to work on several such projects in parallel.
And this here is a success story - Hinkley Point C is still in development despite consuming over £30bln.
China is doing great regarding nuclear, but after 20 years of intensive development they still don't have the capacity of France - a country with a single digit percentage fraction of the population.
