Given that they haven’t actually built one, asserting the performance seems inappropriate, _especially_ the uptime which IIRC is far, far higher than is typical for proven designs, let alone a new one.

Well operated, mature nuclear power plants can easily achieve 90%+ uptime. I don’t think this is a huge issue.
