Best headline of the year from World Nuclear News

“Money no object for Indian reactor plans”

That is certainly the attitude you need to have if you’re planning to build a bunch of nukes:

* Turkey’s only bidder for first nuclear plant offers a price of 21 cents per kilowatt-hour
* Exclusive analysis, Part 1: The staggering cost of new nuclear power
* Warning to taxpayers, investors — Part 2: Nukes may become troubled assets, ruin credit ratings
* The Self-Limiting Future of Nuclear Power
* Nuclear meltdown in Finland
