The economics of traditional plants are even worse. They're complicated to build, they take forever to throttle, they need a ridiculous amount of auxillary cooling infrastructure due to crap throttling, and their thermal efficiency is below even fossil fuels since they can't run superheated without making the reactor even more of a maintenance nightmare
