> Just the steam turbine part of a nuclear power plant is more expensive than renewable If you are building a new nuclear plant to target the Rankine steam cycle at a lousy ~140°C inside an enourmous concrete bomb, you are doing it wrong. The cool kids are targeting the Brayton cycle at ~700°C and atmospheric pressure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMSR-LF1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMSR-LF1
