Nuclear gets cheaper if you actually have production of many units. This is pretty clear in the literature. If the US planned to replace all coal plants with AP1000 in the next 15 years it would be a totally different process. Look at the prices when France or the US were building many reactors. Also know-days you can already order thinks like Pebble Bed reactors from China or Molten Salt Rector from Canada. > it's about 15 years before you see any kind of fast decarbonization progress from a commitment to build a new generation of nuclear reactors. And if you look at all the different plans this is still about the best. The 2050 all renewable plans are FAR more unrealistic then any comparable plan with nuclear. Once you get the build time to 5 years its becomes economical and that is very realistic once you plan for more then a few identical reactors.
