> Make nuclear power profitable
I mean, I would like to say that "people have made them profitable" "but then they blew up"
But I would be being too hyperbolic, as I would not say per se that the rmbk reactors where all that profitable at the time, tho they were certainly cheap tho
But yeah, issue with nuclear is a cursed triad of
Having nuclear reactors be cheap
Having nuclear reactors be on schedule
Having nuclear reactors be safe
Choose 2 from above
Even the AP1400 fail the test above, as more than a couple of them at least in China have been build over/close by seismic faults and in shores with tsunami risk
The fact that Toshiba nearly went bankrupt trying to build ap1000 nuclear reactors ought say it all
