Complete shipyard construction will drastically bring down the cost. Modular cores are switch out every 4 years to refurbish the moderator at a factory. Fuel is switched out and reprocessed every 8 years at a factory. Fuel can be 4% Uranium, mox, 20% Uranium with Thorium, ect. Completely walk away safe indefinitely with no human intervention. The core operates at just 3 bar pressure. Uses standard 650C turbines. Standard 700C molten salt load following as is well known from thermal solar plants can be added to vary the output from 0%-200%-0%.
