Some attempts weren't particularly enticing.
The EPR is a Gen3+:
One just started in Finland, and as a project it is a major failure. Nearly 4 times the budget, 12 years late... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Olkiluoto_3_(Finland) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Olkiluot...
Two of them run in China, they were five years late and 60% overbudget. One had a problem justifying to stop it for more than one year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Taishan_1_and_2_(China) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Taishan_...
One is a WIP in France. It is massively late and overbudget. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Flamanville_3_(France) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Flamanvi...
Two are a WIP in the UK, they already are (surprise!) late and overbudget. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Hinkley_Point_C_(United_Kingdom) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Hinkley_...
