Nuclear and short term don't really go together. Especially with the currenr regulatory climate. Looking at a couple plants in China, it looks like about 5 years between construction start and utility connection, and you probably can't get things built any faster than that. If you add in site selection and design work, that's longer too. And there's likely only a limited capacity for manufacturing.
