If my math is right on the "$6 billion over 5 years" then that is 2250 MW capacity * 720 *12 to get a bit more than 19000 Gwh per year. So what is the annual, billable power generation for this nuclear plant?
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoAt most $6 billion, this is obviously a listing of the worst case, not best or expected cost.
- epistasis 3y agoHas there ever been a case of a nuclear project that came in under the worst case projection? I'm sure there have been one or two. But typically nuclear is known for blowing past the cost estimates, not staying within them.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYes, all the time. Also, we aren’t talking about building a new plant here, just maintaining an old one.
