How to finance new non-carbon, alternative nuclear energy

This is simply a wish-list of how I’d like to see new non-carbon producing nuclear energy develop. None of this really involves new taxes and is different from the Production Tax Credit subsidy that wind and solar (and some fossil) gets today.

My current favorite is the National Nuclear Development Bank. This would be a wholly owned and financed U.S. government agency that would stream line loans to new nuclear builds, favoring public power entities over investor owned ones, and regulated utilities over merchant entities. But that is not mandatory and reflects my own ideological prejudice in terms of public vs private.
