Biggest cost factors for current nuclear isn't steel, nor labor. It's interest, especially when the project takes 20y instead pf 4-6/unit with several built in parallel
- epistasis 10mo agoAnd what is that interest for? The loan to pay the labor and buy the steel and concrete. The biggest cost of my house may be "interest" but that's just an accounting game.
- Moldoteck 10mo agoThe cost of interest depends both on cost of materials and duration. A plant that takes 20y to build will cost much more vs a plant that's done in 6y. If we relearn to build fast(er) nuclear will get cheap enough to get a place on the grid
