Sort of - nuke plants are fundamentally phenomenally complicated compared to true economies of scale technologies like solar. You won’t reap 100x cost savings in nukes, no matter how many you build

Every widget has a price floor since there's parts/materials and labour costs. This is even true for solar.

One simply has to be careful about what something "costs" when you look at the first unit versus the nth unit.
