Presumably it’ll end up like the NuScale one, raise a few billion for design and prototyping and then every 6 months or so increase the target wholesale price by 50% until it makes no sense at all economically to begin primary construction. They’ll reverse IPO along the way and manipulate the stock enough to get insiders paid out while the carcass of a company trundles along.

No, but I'm certain the polymarket gamblers do.

China have 28 nukes under construction right now, and have built more in the last 30 years than the rest of the world combined.

Even with all that experience and expertise, their questionable environmental policies and questionable worker rights, it still takes them SEVEN years to build a single nuke.

The claim that anyone else can do it faster with zero recent experience isn’t only laughable, it’s downright fraud.
