that would be shitty US prices cause we rarely reuse the same design.


No, it's that they are expensive. Even in China reactors are only 30% cheaper than in the US, and in Korea only 25% less. In Europe they are around 10% more[1].

Note that at these prices it is cheaper to build solar, and in some cases (and places) solar AND pumped hydro power storage.
