Not a single nuclear reactor today has been produced fully with nuclear energy.

But this is a ridiculous constraint, since it says the entire problem has to be solved in one shot.

Which I did not claim at all. I keep saying that we need both nuclear and renewables, and you keep opposing renewables to nuclear. We won't go anywhere, let's stop here.

You keep saying that, but you don't justify it at all.

From the analysis I've seen, nuclear has no place. It's simply too expensive and constrained.
