I'd think that just pooling the money from multiple consumers into large AP1000 power plants buildouts would be cheaper.

So far economies of vertical scaling mostly led to cheaper energy than more smaller units.

Ideally youd have one company with a lot of skilled labor building NPPs all the time instead of only every few decades, because that means experienced workers change jobs/retire, supply chains cease to exist and this leads to cost and time overruns.

Still great to see finally more money being invested into this limitless technology (nuclear fission)
