Not any more they don't. Those were older reactor designs which nobody wants now. And the 5 years was first-pour to switch on. Add a few years for planning, permitting and actually supplying to the grid.

Newly approved Korean plans are aiming for 2038. Best of luck to them. I'm sceptical they'll make it.

They used to be pretty fast but like everyone else seem to be slowing down significantly.
