    Nuclear is inevitable for lifetime 24/7/365 baseload power for the ultimate support of other power generation. Simple.

    The experts quoted and interviewed on many posts made already on the issue indicate that the NPV when calculated over the expected lifetime of a modern reactor (up to 100years) reveals a very competitive argument for its use.

    In other words, for those of us with a semblance of long-term property investment calculations and mathematical knowledge, when the amortised value of an asset is taken into account the net present value resulting figure is very attractive and competitive, let alone the actual significant long-term reduction in power costs and reliability.
