During the past 25 years there were projects aiming at building industrial nuclear reactors. They all ended badly (canceled, way over budget or delay...).

That's completely false.
The Konvois in Germany were extremely successful.
France built 50+ reactors in 15 years from a standing start.

Please describe any nuclear reactor which was successfully built in France or Germany during the past 25 years.

Germany didn't build any.
France built hardly any.
And that's the complete answer: we know how to build nuclear reactors quickly and cheaply.
Building only very few of different novel designs while slowly (or quickly) losing the industrial base to do so, for example by making it illegal to build more (or at all) is exactly how you don't do it.
