Let me even grant you that it works that way in theory. By what factor has this project gone over budget, 10x? What’s the next project we can look at to see how it fares?
My other points still stand, especially the one about competition.
- credit_guy 3y agoI don't know the factor, I think it was about 3x. But, NuScale has no experience building anything. It's just a startup. It's a miracle they got their reactor design approved. BWXT however is the company that builds the Navy's naval nuclear reactors. They are cooperating with GE and Hitachi [1] to build a 300 MWe SMR. All 3 of these companies have plenty of experience delivering on numerous types of projects, including nuclear ones. I do think they have a chance.
