blasting smallish tunnels in hard rock

Nuclear fission power has to way improve. In the USA you can have inland water-cooled-reactors - PWR's (and BWR's)

- because you have continental-sized rivers to take away the abundant! waste heat.

Could switch from Uranium fueled to Thorium. There isn't any such animal as "enriched thorium", which minimizes that issue.

Or scale down. Nuclear power's biggest issue is that effectively, all the plants are Mega Plants, and each one is a one-off, hand crafted artisan production. No economies of scale, which applies to the learning curve for manufacturing as well.
