The point in this is that often no proper end to end costing is done when
its a state industry. also more mistakes are made in design and manufacture
when cost is not an issue, ie nobody thinks about servicing and the
radiation in parts to be changed etc. They usually do do a reasonable job of
safety, but as I say not much else.

However there are also issues with commercial designs and builds due to
compromises to keep costs down that seemed good at the time... ahem. 3 mile
island anyone?

Just as true of 'renewables', particularly with the cost of what is needed
when they are delivering **** all power.
And have seen the end of this by a long chalk.
