6 GW.


That's what X-energy and Centrica are trying to bring online in the UK, guys.
June 2, X-energy submitted its Xe-100 reactor for the UK's Generic Design Assessment.
First target: Hartlepool. Twelve units, nearly a gigawatt.
The review doesn't wrap until end of 2029.
Three and a half years just for approval, before a single reactor breaks ground.
Is the West actually building fast enough to win the nuclear race, or are we still filing paperwork while other countries pour concrete?
