Question to you. Why do you think Olkiluoto 1&2 took 5 and 7 years to build instead of 18?
Nobody is arguing anyone should build reactors the way Olkiluoto 3 was built.

I can only speculate, but I suppose two major reasons could be that Europe had several companies that could and did build reactors back then, and that o1 and o2 were much smaller than o3.
O1 and o2 were also built before we knew about things like Chernobyl and 9/11 of course.
