Can you give an example of a plant that has been built under this streamlined process and what kind of timeline it had? The only recent nuclear buildouts that I personally have knowledge of are expansions to existing plants and thus have a lower barrier to get going.

Since it was just released, that’s pretty hard to do eh? I’m familiar with the reactors built on other previous ‘expedited’ processes that ended up being anything but fast. We’ll see how it goes eh?

  If it was just released, then your claims about it are entirely hypothetical and best-case-scenario. Of course we have to "see how it goes" - there's no merit but hopefulness to your stance...

    A change in regulations is not a meritless argument, it's useful information

    Lol, that every prior process has gone this way (including ‘express’ processes) surely has no value? Uh huh.

      We are literally talking about the fact that every prior process has been mired in regulatory slowdown.

        Amazing.

We were talking specifically about the problem of a finished nuclear power plant, built successfully to the specifications in the build permit, not getting an operating license (or taking very long to get it). With the combined license, that case simply cannot happen, no matter what else happens.
