    So the user above me actually gave the the answer so kudos to them but to further answer your question, there are no actually cheap reactors because the fight to actually build one is so insanely expensive. Where I live they’d been trying to build a reactor for over a decade. Constant lawsuits and legal battles after already obtaining permits and everything. Its ballooned the cost by tenfold. Why? Because of constant NGO pressure from the likes of greenpeace. So congrats, you win. They aren’t cheap cause of the hell we’ve made for ourselves.

      high speed rail and subways have the same problem. it’s not inherently expensive, rich people sue and sue until it’s too expensive

      You’re blaming everyone else for nuclear’s failures.

      Why are even French nuclear plants badly over budget and late? Answer: Nuclear is expensive as fuck.

        Are you unable to read or are you just ignoring what I’m saying on purpose. I told you why they’re badly over budget and late. This clearly is a dead conversation as you lack either a) reading comprehension or b) the ability to discuss in good faith.

        of course I’m blaming the real problem: relentless attack by the fossil fuel industry
