I appreciate your post but I disagree with your premise on cost. It is not worth it if you are a company looking for a quick turn around, but it is still the cheapest long term. Also waste is not the issue it once was, though it is still an issue.

The biggest issue with nuclear is NIMBYism and stigma. (And going with lowest bidder contractors)
