> And how many nuclear reactors does one worker build in their lifetime? 2? 4? That's not a lot of opportunity for process improvement.
And reactors are inherently too big and complicated. A wind farm, solar farm, or a road is intrinsically much simpler.
And reactors will suffer from decision makers sitting around a table and changing designs for the next one because engineers have thought up new failure modes of the last design and nobody wants to be the person who says "no" and then has a failure. Along with the natural tendency of US management to increase the spending of their departments in order to increase the size of their own personal kingdom. You'll never manage to stamp out reactor after reactor all of the same design.
