This is not true. About 0.7% of the neutrons are emitted at times up to 80 s after the fission event. These delayed neutrons are the key! Fast reactor exist and can still be controlled for this reason.
France's history of reactor size is very similar to the US, except for increased standardization, and the EPR is about the same size as an AP1000.
Instead of saying "this is interesting", why don't we just say "this is wrong". Too many of his falsehoods, misconceptions are traded as "interesting".

I had a great time covering a variety of topics in my visit to the @NuclearTitans podcast. Thanks for inviting me to talk about my own journey, my research, and my outreach interests.

It was great to participate in the @UWMadison #175 celebration at @shinefusion in Janesville yesterday. We discussed how @UWMadisonNEEP played a role in the ideas that led to this new exciting technology

Do none of the commenters (or the OP) want to acknowledge that this a graph of the *SHARE* of generation and not the absolute generation? Nuclear energy, for example, generates roughly as much today on a global basis as it ever has
