On average the US has commissioned more than one nuclear powered naval submarine or aircraft carrier every year. There’s no fundamental reason we can’t also cost-effectively build on land. Brian Potter’s “Construction Physics” substack has a series of articles about the cost issues with nuclear power: https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power-construction https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power... https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power-construction-370 https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power... https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power-construction-c3c https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power... All in all, the issues with nuclear construction are largely down to regulation, and can be overcome through massive economies of scale. Building 1000 nuclear power plants within the next ten years is achievable if the United States, to use your words, “[marshalls] our resources as if we were at war”. The primary reason this hasn’t happened already are (a) activists like you spent the last half century trying to prevent it, eroding the practical expertise necessary and (b) natural gas is still probably more cost effective.
