Could be a good way to kickstart a canadian nuclear industry that would expand into the US, exploiting the a big thing the US is bad at, coordinating infrastructure projects with multiple government groups, not making infrastructure builds incredibly overpriced and take an incredible amount of time and not being hyper litigious.

Canada is not even a little bit better at the big thing, and it may be worse. Same ailment, basically. Better look to countries like Spain and Japan for inspiration on how to deliver very big projects on time and on budget.
Are you also Canadian? I only ask because I feel expensive and overdue infrastructure is already something we (canada) suck at
Vancouver vs. the bay area is my current example, or california HSR general, or the billion dollar pedestrian tunnel in new york, and just the general level of shabby of everything compared to canada in public infra at least.

You have to realize that the dollar bill for equivalent infra in the USA is much, much higher even though it feels more expensive in canada relative to it's income
