In short: "The bastion of European nuclear" is "sending their engineers on secondment to China" to learn how China builds reactors "for sub 6 billion US." He cites it as evidence of the West's cost and speed gap.
6:22They're building reactors now for sub 6 billion US. EDF, which is really the bastion of European nuclear, is sending their engineers on secondment to China to go and figure out exactly this question. I think a lot of it comes down to regulation and there's not really this concept of NIMBYism in China.
In short: Its chairman made the standardization case "from the utility side": lessons from the Hinkley Point C twin-EPR project carried into Sizewell C, and France's programme of six initial EPR2 reactors with eight more under consideration.
3:20The reactor vendors made the case for repetition over novelty. Westinghouse's chief technology officer argued that standardization is critical to deployment at scale, describing a copy and paste approach to new build as the route to supply chain visibility and delivery certainty. The chairman of EDF made the same argument from the utility side, pointing to the lessons being carried from the Hinkley Point C twin EPR project into Sizewell C and to France's program of six initial EPR2 reactors with eight more under
