> I worked in the nuclear power in the past.

Where?

My point was and remains that USA federal government hoops around building out new nuclear fission plants can not explain the dearth of new nuclear fission plants being built everywhere else.

Canada was cited elsewhere in this thread as pro nuclear fission plants -- but they've deferred all plans to build new plants.

France is the really obvious big proponent, but their recent experiences (building Flamanville in FR, involvement in Hinkley in the UK) suggest there is more complexity here than can be addressed by complaints that 'The USA government has red tape'.
