Alright. Think of it a different way. I give you the nuclear heat source up front for free. Brand new AP1000 appears up to the second cooling loop by magic. Steam turbines sans the emission control equipment are about $3k/kWe Fuel rods are $10-20/MWh. Take it at a constant $10 for an AP1000 (costs of uranium and SWUs go up, but fuel efficiency and fabrication improves at about the same rate). Decomissioning is underfunded at $10/MWh but we'll pretend this is enough O&M costs for a steam turbine sans fuel is $10/MWh Demonstrate how nuclear makes sense with these constraints vs wind at $2000/kW net or solar at $2500/kW net while the gas turbines still run. Demonstrate how nuclear makes sense vs. Projected costs of pv + wind + h2 + batteries.
