It will be interesting to see how the costs scale. I'd guess there will be more red tape, more people with their hand out than when they build the earlier reactors. Same as e.g. rail that's basically become impossible to build. Part of being serious about sustainable power will be cutting out the BS. Realistically, the profitable play is to be a consultant doing whatever assessments and consultations will go on ad-nauseum.
Edit: lol, I commented before I'd fully read it, sure enough
Any new nuclear facility in Ontario would require at least a decade for an extensive federal impact assessment and public consultations – including with local Indigenous groups – as well as final approvals by the federal Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
