The success of nuclear power renaissance hinges on addressing one critical challenge: cost. Historically, nuclear power has been plagued by a “cost escalation curse,” with overnight construction costs rising dramatically in countries like the United States and France from the 1970s to the 1990s. In contrast, China’s nuclear sector presents a striking counterexample, achieving declining costs alongside substantially capacity expansion....
