If solar had the same record of construction delay, cost overruns, and exorbitant hidden costs in waste storage and decommissioning, nobody would start a solar project. Instead, solar projects fall in cost and exceed their lifecycle expectations.

If you can't demonstrate a full life cycle that happens on time and on budget, and without risks that carry costs that wipe out all the value delivered by nuclear, nuclear power is theoretical.
