I just don't know if that assumption is true. Looking at https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/small-modular-reactor... > The timeline is to finish construction of the first reactor by the end of 2029, and connect it to the grid in 2030. Sure, let's add 100% buffer because it's a major project, that's between 8-10 years from now. Not bad. Are we talking about different kinds of reactors maybe?

I'm also building a nuclear power plant within the next 5 years. You can get 100% share for a mere 20.9 billion - trust me bro.

That is what I read in this announcement. History will not be kind on taxpayer money > /dev/null
