Economies of scale and room for technological/process innovation. The fact that solar reduced so significantly and battery costs too. This article seems a bit cherry picked about a specific project and not a global trend in costs. Offshore will naturally take time to become competitive since it requires complex installation and processes, but those seem like solvable problems for an admittedly laymen as myself.
- chickenbig 2y ago> Economies of scale and room for technological/process innovation. This applies when going from 1 to 2 to 4 reactors. See https://www.oecd-nea.org/mdep/events/conf-2023/presentations/S2/2.MDEP5thConference_CGN-Final.pdf https://www.oecd-nea.org/mdep/events/conf-2023/presentations... page 27 for the Chinese approach to HPR1000 (Hualong One) innovation. Plus the linked article mentioned improvements to manufacturing outside the constraints of the containment.
