By "waited" you surely meant "were busy fighting Nazis". And let me quote the wiki article I linked to: "The Soviet entry into the war and the defeat of the Kwantung Army was a significant factor in the Japanese gov

Unfortunately, the independent Ukraine has been busy destroying monuments to the Ukrainians that fought againsts Nazis and naming dozens of streets after Nazi collaborants.

That's just sovietophobic fiction. I remember the slogan "Family is the unit of society" and childless people had to pay a special tax. Also infidelity in marriage was frowned upon and could negatively affect the career.

Why don't you support your statements with sources? "the average plant built by Japan" Japan stopped building reactors after Fukushima disaster. If you cut corners, build a reactor in five years and later it blows up, that&#x

You'd first get administrative charges and a fine. Sometimes you can even fight off the fine in the court -- I personally know someone who did. After that you either shut up or leave the country, which of course is very bad.

Yes, lots of the reactors are built by China which takes 5-6 years to do the job. All other countries take more time. "community input, ... environmental reviews" It all happens before the start of construction, doesn't it? [

Firstly, it's meaningless -- the construction time depends on who is building, not where. Secondly, it doesn't matter -- reactors in Russia are built by Rosatom just a little slower and still on par with South Korea. I have zero i

Just like UAE isn't South Korea but the reactors there are designed and built by a South Korean company. What's your point? Sorry to break it to you, but the USSR dissolved over 30 years ago.

Rosatom builds faster than South Korea, which takes 9 years to build a reactor [0]. For example, the reactor in Belarus was built in 8 years[1]. The first reactor at the Akkuyu site in Turkey is going to be built in 6 years [2]. [0] https:
