Which as with everything else in construction these days ultimately ends up taking twice as long and costing thrice the initial estimate. Also, this is the cost for a bore hole. The cost for something with enough diameter to house a reactor will be some orders of magnitude higher.
- martijnarts 2y agoThe article mentions 76 cm width for the reactor they're designing, and oil wells can be up to a meter wide[0], so that price estimate would probably be similar then. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well#Drilling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well#Drilling
