I'd love to know where you got these numbers. I'd guess your source is dubious since the premise hinges on the 10 year lifespan... which is just plain wrong. It's more like 25 years... you've also overlooked that as an emerging technology the efficiency and price are improving at exponential rates. So the cost to replace after 25 years if needed will be a fraction of the current cost.

Look I'm a big believer in nuclear power as a replacement to existing coal and fossil fuels. We need it for baseload and stability - especially given the rise of EVs means we're going to need a LOT more power over the next 10-20 years... the best solution is a combination of renewables and nuclear... solar isn't the enemy of nuclear - coal is.

There are only about 100 full sunny days in Australia which means base load power is needed for the other 265 days be that coal, gas or nuclear.
Coal and gas give out emissions hence it gets down to solar and nuclear.
Because solar is a low intensity power supply and unreliable power source Its implementation is a impediment to using nuclear as a fully economical reliable power source.
If nuclear was the first power of choice its economy of scale would be vastly enhanced as a cheap, reliable, emmision free and safe source of energy.

Hi Kenso

If nuclear was the first power of choice its economy of scale would be vastly enhanced as a cheap, reliable, emmision free and safe source of energy.

Safe? Give us a break please! Safe until something goes wrong. And then you get all the nutters saying well..........

100 full sunny days in Australia! Please! So now solar panels don't work on cloudy days.
