Yeah that’s pretty silly. Projecting nuclear costs to keep rising doesn’t make a lot of sense either. Standardized, simpler reactors like the AP-1000 should drop in price significantly as we build more of them. Fuel cost is already fairly low, and will drop to almost nothing as IFRs and LFTRs come on line…and those should be reasonably cheap to build, too.
