My impression is that this is a PR push, designed to avoid having to invest in renewables, and let them keep on burning gas and coal, rather than something likely to come to fruition.
Even if they don’t burn fossils, the steel and concrete alone emits thousands/millions of tons of GHG’s; every project.
I guarantee the mining and refinement of fissile material is also extremely energy and water intensive, and I wouldn’t be surprised if most of those embodied GHG’s are ignored or criminally underreported.
