This is why I'm optimistic about smaller reactors like the B&W mPower reactor, or China's HTR-PM pebble bed reactors. They're meant to be cranked out in bulk, identically, and shipped out to wherever the site is.
The AP1000 also looks like a pretty impressive attempt at standardization, since it comes mostly in the form of factory-produced modules that get assembled on-site.
