That's one to two hundred years depening on if you include inferred resource, and for supplying under 3% of the energy. Meeting net zero targets with PWRs would run out in well under a decade, perhaps not even a single fuel load.

So if we just do this thing that doesn't work and would be more expensive as the other thing that's too expensive and release many EBq of Kr-85, H3 and probably various other fission products we can avoid doing the thing that's currently working and is dirt cheap.
