Right my question was specifically about consumer-level "appliances" of course.
So paraphrasing your answer to my question: If the certifying institution (say UL) is "aware" that they are dealing with a nuclear device, 2 years would be "lightning fast". Even if they treated it as an ordinary water boiler (operating around 100C as were the modules in the 1MW plant) 2 years would be "fast". I pretty much suspected this when I asked my question and it is only partially an answer to my question since I was not asserting that the device should have been certified within 2 years.
