This type of innumeracy from nuclear advocates is rampant. It's not insane, you just put out a number that seems big, to you, and said "wow this must be impossible!"
Meanwhile, we deploy that all the time.
If nuclear advocates were better at numbers, maybe all the nuclear projects wouldn't be 2x-3x over budget and off schedule, and there would be more nuclear built.

It's not "innumeracy" to say that's going to be hard. Not impossible, but hard, and we haven't yet demonstrated that we're going to do it.
