Reactor build time is the period from the start of construction to first grid connection. It varies widely by country and reactor model, from around four years in the fastest programmes to well over a decade for first-of-a-kind designs.
Several Asian programmes connect reactors to the grid in about 4-6 years on average; first-of-a-kind Western projects often take a decade or more.
