Standardized designs would solve a lot of the cost overrun issues since all of these reactors were built with one-off designs.
When I worked as a pipefitter back in the 80’s on several nukes under construction, the twin designs, or multiples thereof, were the most efficient in terms of time to complete and cost savings.
This was due to finding and fixing all of the original design flaws in the first unit and applying those fixes to the twin.
Yep, makes sense
True. Almost every nuclear reaction in our country is a different design. Other countries mostly used a standard design for all theirs which greatly lowered costs.
