SMR is not yet available anywhere, so we don’t even know its final price. 462 MW for 206 billion crowns. may not be the final price. The completion of Dukovan around the amount of 160 billion is also nonsense, because 160 billion was stated already in 2017 and it was still assumed that the Russians would build it, the Americans would be more expensive. Not CZK 160 billion, but more like once that much, plus the cost of fuel, employees, 40 years of operation and maintenance, and the cost of spent fuel storage. Gas has already become cheaper, although it does not cost EUR 20/MWh as before, but EUR 50/MWh, but still wind+solar+biomass+hydro+gas with emission allowances will be cheaper than building a new NPP. However, the existing ones should be left and their lifespan extended as long as possible, at least 80 years.
