Agreed. Which is why we need to produce one design that incorporates
all the latest knowledge on contruction, use and decomissioning and
roll them out - as France did.

That wont fix the problem of over regulation designed to strangle
nuclear power.

No, but it does mean only one set of design documents, operation docs
and safety case docs - the vast majority of which need not be reviewed
for the next reactor, as long as the design remains the same.

And yet they are. Every time.

And again halfway through construction when the rules change, Again.
