    The chart has Hinkley Point as "being defuelled", while Hinkley Point C is still under construction.

    To me, that's the real test of nuclear power: can it actually be switched on, on time, and on budget? Too many projects fail that.

    At least building at the Wylfa site avoids the need for grid upgrades.

      Small reactors are probably less likely to be delivered on time and on budget and work as expected than big ones.

      Generally small projects work better than big ones, not just for nuclear power. Everything from IT systems to railways (the latter being particularly a sore point here in NE England)

    They’re using Rolls Royce’s SMR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_SMR
