Using values referenced in the article for mini-nuclear power plants (values not verified)
2E9 GBP * 1.32 USD/GBP / ( 440 MWe * 1000 KWe / MWe ) = 6000 USD/KWe
Using values referenced in the comments for the Sheffield nuclear power plants (values not verified)
22E9 GBP * 1.32 USD/GBP / ( 3000 MWe * 1000 KWe / MWe ) = 9680 USD/KWe
These both seem in line with the capital cost for commercial power plants.
As posters have noted, nuclear power has the advantage of higher availability compared to renewable plants or even fossil powered plants.
There are thermodynamic advantages to large power plants. Large power plants also have lower operating cost for personnel compared to a set of smaller power plants with the same total production capacity.
There are additional losses from having to move power from remote electrical power plants to consumers.
Total extra cost of a hybrid = (Ch - Cs)*(1 + IR)^Y + (Ch - Cs) - M * (1/Es - 1/Eh) * G
Is it possible to get the Slashdot's 15th Anniversary Shirt logo with black instead of white lettering, black instead of white lines, and a transparent background sized to fit a 11" * 17" paper? I would like to print a few as banners/signs for the Slashdot party.
