- throwaway4aday 3y agoChina has successfully built many reactors in as little as 5 years[0] though construction times vary for others. Historically, other countries have been able to rapidly build out nuclear capacity with similar or better construction times. We're just dragging our feet and getting in our own way. Even if it must take 15 years the right choice is to begin new construction now and to plan new projects to start on a regular schedule so that they continue to come online in rapid succession.
