Those two nuke projects include four reactors. None of that design has have been built or tested before.
The overruns in cost have plagued nuclear projects from the first ones, and it still seems to be a technology over which we have too little control..
Fortunately, the rise in practical alternatives has made this dangerous technology obsolete. Our house solar PV system in California provides the power for our house and electric vehicle, too.
It will pay for itself in four years and three months. And since we did it a year ago, the costs of PV have gone down, and the costs of power has gone up, and the evolution of electric transportation has begun.
Nuclear power is already too expensive, and we have yet to find ways to store the waste we have created in the past 60 years.
