> same kind of thing that has drawn the price of PV down

A nuclear power generator is a complex beast, that requires a ton of material, of very different kinds, worked into some detailed and non-repetitive patterns. (Have you looked at a steam turbine?)

PV is a simple pattern of a few different substances, repeated over and over again.

Even if scale was all going into the PV price, nuclear will never be able to achieve the same amount of it.
