Roman Chervinsky, a colonel in Ukraine’s special operations forces, was integral to the brazen sabotage operation of the Russia-Germany pipeline, say people familiar with the planning.
Vogtle ended up at roughly $13,000/kW. On shore wind globally is averaging roughly $1,300/kW. Grid-scale batteries are running roughly $3,000/kW, then add in for how much ride-through you expect to need.
Depending on local conditions, you can build out 10x as much wind capacity as you need, or various combinations of wind + solar+ batteries and still end up less expensive and with a faster deployment time than nuclear.
An interesting take on why the nuclear industry stalled. A big picture approach however it says it is not an area for engineering innovation and big is better if you want an economic industry. https://cleantechnica.com/2023/11/06/nuclear-energy-free-market-capitalism-arent-compatible/
