>safety features and regulations are a major part of nuclear's cost.
Which regulations -that aren't there for safety- are driving up cost of nuclear power? I can't find any. Are you saying we should cut down on safety to make nuclear able to compete?
Making a molten salt reactor safe might be much cheaper than a light water reactor.

No, he is saying that MSR do not have many of those problems and are in compliance with those regulations without costly measures.
That's not entirely true, and safety features and regulations are a major part of nuclear's cost.
> That molten salt reactor will need to have a negative cost in order to compete with the cost of stored renewable energy
Does stored renewable energy come for free? From what i recall, there's still no actual solution to that problem on a big scale.
