Thanks for the info

From that article:

It estimates that it can build a plant based on such a reactor for $1.7 billion, roughly half the cost per megawatt of current plants.

Half the price of a “traditional” Nuclear Plant, construction, not operating cost. Not the comparison to power for a fraction of the cost of lowest cost coal.
