Answer: This is due to the technical complexity of nuclear power plants, which must meet stringent licensing and design requirements. The design and construction of a new nuclear power plant necessitates a large number of highly qualified specialists and can take many years, compounding financing costs.

Answer:

Power plants are very expensive as their system is quite complex and must satisfy strict licensing and design requirements. To create a nuclear power plant, a team of highly qualified specialist must work together and the construction may take many years. Although power plants are expensive to build, they are cheap to run.
