If I wanted to donate 1 day a week to building a new nuclear power station in Africa. What would I be doing on those days?

The tech exists. The old school big ones are great and a gigantic capital investment, with a huge execution risk.
The exciting part is now exist smol modular rectors. These shave off at least one order magnitude capital and risk, if not more.
From there you need to find a stable jurisdiction, regulatory clarity, and certainty.
With btc miners as prospective on-demand customers there is reduced risk on the customer side.
Any style points being awarded for executing in an unstable jurisdiction, without regulatory clarity and rife in uncertainty?
Godspeed
Thank you. 🙏
I don’t know the details and I’ve previously come across

Find $10b+, lobby for permission in the target country, lobby for permission from the US, these are probably the hard parts. Then it takes a lot of time to build too.
Molten salt reactors seem really promising but they're not really established yet afaik.
He has some interesting videos on economic parts of nuclear powerplant construction:
