Its not quite in operation yet, took 20 years to build so far, & only Finland has actually built one so far. Even though nuclear waste has been around since the 1950s.

With nuclear everything is unique, and takes much longer, and is much more expensive than expected (Prediction: SMRs will be the same).

Effective renewables are faster, already much cheaper, with much more drops to come) & with far more people researching them.

Nuclear will be a niche player.
