If the antinuke zealots get out of the way GE Hitachi have a NRC approved design that can be built in America for $2500 or less per kw in capx with uranium prices what they are today that will make it under 5 cents kWh for a 40 year reactor life cheaper still if extended to 60. At this power level to shift demand peaks and load follow prestressed concrete steam accumulators or pipe rack types or the Westinghouse concrete thermal storage from the above MIY report all would make it even cheaper to use nuke power as the primary source with solar and wind as the other sources no gas turbines needed.
Did you use to work in the nuclear power industry? Just curious - you seem to be well versed in it.
