How to make hydrogen production cheaper and easier: include an atomic reactor component.

Huh?

I’d be interested in hearing about some scenario where this actually costs less, given the cost of building anything nuclear in 2026.

I agree, the experience building nuclear reactors is mixed bag. Some builds failed, like Flamanville 3, Hinkley Point C, Vogtle 3. Some builds succeeded: Barakah nuclear power plant, Fuqing 5,6. It really depends on maturity of supply line and political support.
