It'd be especially interesting to see how expensive renewables plus storage end up being, relative to nuclear.

Any NPP started today will not be online until 2030 or later, so one should compare with renewable/storage projections of cost, not current costs. The renewable and storage systems can be brought online much faster than NPPs.

Using 2030 projections, nuclear loses.

(and that model doesn't take into account addressing intermittency with transmission or dispatchable demand, such as end-user thermal storage.)
