The problem with nuclear is unless the capital cost is greatly reduced, it is not economic on all-in cost of energy basis.   Particularly in the US.     Right now Solar, wind and fossil are all cheaper than nuclear.    This is discouraging the sort of investment needed to provide good prospect of improvement.    Trump restricting nuclear exports to China is not helping with nuclear power research in the US.

I didn't think cost was the ultimate issue. Yeah it might hurt but considering the alternatives ..............................
