Except it's not an absurd cost to build. In South Korea LCOE of nuclear is less than half that of solar, at approximately $0.05/kwh. In most of the world, the cost of nuclear power has remained constant or decreased adjusted for inflation since the 60s, only in the US has the cost skyrocketed. This suggests a political issue, not a technological one.

Hinkley Point C, £23 billion for a measly ~3.000 MW. you could literally build ten+ times the capacity using modern, emission-free alternatives.
