Two EPRs have been running in China since 2018 in Taishan.

It’s not a design problem, it’s a bureaucratic problem.



Those are not under western safety regime.


China thought they could build them in 48 months, and it ended up taking more than twice as long.

Is China planning any more EPRs? I can't find any evidence of them.

I would agree that it's a bureaucratic problem, but it's a bureaucratic problem of the construction industries in all Western nations. And nobody can even figure out what exactly the problem is, or how to change it.
