Nuclear has huge opportunities for substantial cost savings. Because most of the added cost is our own bumbling around and poor decision making. The materials and equipment costs, as well as O&M, are quite reasonable.
It's funny - we can invent a new more efficient solar cell to reduce costs for solar. But we can't seem to invent a new regulatory paradigm for nuclear. It is harder for people to change their minds than to change their technology!
