I read exactly the same on HN 10 years ago.

  Yes, and the countries that actually make these reactors in quantity such as South Korea, China, have made many at reasonable prices.

  Gotta love anti-nuclear folks. They work to hinder nuclear development and then point to the lack of nuclear progress as “evidence” that nuclear is a pipe dream.

    Stop with the conspiracy theories. There are no "anti-nuclear folks" in this thread. It's a bunch of people looking at a balance sheet and trying to decide on how to prioritize energy spending. And nuclear doesn't fit. Maybe it will. But it doesn't. It's not there. If you have $100M to spend on non-carbon electricity right now you build a wind farm, not a reactor. That's the problem you have to fix. Make something people want, basically.
