Yeah and furthermore, what price will that be? Solar/wind is already under gas turbine. And it's still dropping 10%+ per year and looking at the necessary economies of scale to replace incumbent coal and gas, has a long way to go. Your competitive price in ten years is a total unknown, but likely is 1/2 to 1/3 the current price. Your 10 years is probably just for research. Then installation/production of any substantial number of small reactors is another 10 years. Another 10 years of price reductions in wind/solar/storage. I, a LFTR stan, encourage moderate research into these exciting technologies, nuclear just has too much advantage in density of power. But they won't be in mainstream power fo 30 years. Also, "hot" take: fusion has the exact same challenges, and chasing the same cost problem.
