Serious question. What alternatives to the Magnox>AGR line of development were canvassed, available and with a proven safety case at times of decision to proceed with both technologies?
US designs? Co-operation with the French?
The greater missed opportunity was decision not to proceed with the follow ons to Sizewell B (probably a consequence of privatisation). A further 20yrs of procrastination and prevarication by govts of both main parties has made position far, far worse.
