(26,727 posts)It's an entirely fictional construct of your imagination.
As has been pointed out to you half a dozen times or more (and you've dodged an equal number of times), the cost of the plant to build turbines is a tiny portion of the cost of providing electrical services to a population... whereas the cost of a reactor is a very high percentage of same.
You persist in acting as if the point of this visualization exercise is limited to a single factory - it isn't -
Again... so what?
Nuclear power isn't limited to a single reactor. Just look at the number that China is building simultaneously and then look at their expectation of ramping that rate up wards in the future. And even that is still irrelevant because you're comparing apples to aardvarks. They're getting ready to propose at least two factories for building SMRs. Are you ok with just looking at the tiny cost for that factory ad then comparing the number of reactors it can turn out per year the way you're playing games with a turbine factory?
Of course not. It would be ridiculous to try... but that hasn't stopped you.
