Building a large nuclear power plant can take between 6 and 10 years on average, including construction and commissioning, though this can vary significantly by country and project. To build one operational more quickly, it would likely involve using Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which could potentially be built in as little as 2 to 4 years using factory-built components.[/QU

Small reactors are the current rage. Until something goes wrong . Oklo, 10x gainer

Oklo, Inc. engages in the development of fission reactors. It provides clean energy through the design and deployment of fast fission power plants.

" Oklo, 10x gainer" I hope so , maybe Ill do better than I did with TESLA

Nuclear power is the true "Green Energy". Sadly, Solar and Wind power generation are not affordable, and improved technology has addressed the following 3 things that made Nuclear Power generation a problem in the past:
1. Safety;
2. Disposition of expended nuclear fuel;
3. Cost.
If you truly want clean energy without depending upon fossil fuels, the you should be a proponent of Nuclear Power Generation.

Small nuclear reactors are on the way and we should have started building these several years ago. Demand for power will greatly increase and it seems nuclear has become much safer.

I'm assuming most of the people on here are over the age of 65. Most of us will probably be almost dead by the time the nuclear facilities are developed and working. I let my financial guy make my decisions for me. He's really good. I spent 6% of my total investment this year on extraordinary expenses. A new car, hunts & travel, not my normal living expenses and I'm exactly at the same dollar amount I started the year with.
I bought 30 ounces of gold for between $300-$340 back in the 80s I think. I sat on it until my divorce in 2000 and sold it for roughly what I paid for it������ sure wish I would've kept it ������
So I listened to my financial guy!!

however, I don't think they have any permits, any revenue, any projects. . so its dot.com redux of a stock cashing in on the latest hot meme.

If anything, the company is a short due to no revenue and just cult trading

Who is going to pay for these? A lot of the money that coming into the U.S. is for generating power for the data centers. I think the licensing for these power plants will be streamlined. Also there is talk on resurrecting a couple of these old nuclear plants. There are several mothballed plants in Washington state and 3 mile island.

The owner of Three Mile Island confirmed rumors that the storied nuclear plant would be reopening as part of a deal with Microsoft. Scheduled to be operational in 2028.

Haven't heard anything about Hanford.

Only 48 or 49 to go to reach the target of 50 more.

Been reading about Nuclear Fusion , sounds promising but maybe to far out for our age group.

What think you?

I've seen research lately indicating enhanced geothermal systems will be the answer. Especially in the West, the US sits on a relatively thin portion of the earth's crust. Using fracking technology and closed well loop systems; deep wells are drilled to superheated rock. Water goes in one well, gets super heated going thru the fracking cracks and comes as steam in the second well. Inexpensive and truly 'green'.
