It’s definitely an expense. But this doesn’t fully explain why nuclear is expensive. -Current nuclear reactors aren’t nearly hot enough to need single crystal turbine blisks. We’re talking on the order of 300°C. -Coal power plant routinely hit much higher temperatures in supercritical and ultra-supercritical (yes, that’s a real term) steam generators. We don’t have quite as bad a problem building coal power plants. -We’re not currently building molten salt reactors for power generation. You didn’t say anything that was wrong. I’m just don’t think this is the reason building reactors is so expensive.
