> the void coefficient is positive because of the high level of Boron With more heat the boron atoms (and water) get further apart. Fun times. > the high cost mostly comes out of the fact that we don't build nuclear reactors as series + the fact that we finance it at insane rates The UK has had a hard time getting this. Sizewell C is still pending a final investment decision (while we risk the loss of experience from Hinkley Point C), although the Regulated Asset Base model may help reduce the finance rates. China appear to get it, mind you. 11 new reactors forecast to cost 33B USD, using experienced teams. But they have energy security issues.
