Even just a basic common sense threshold would make nuclear more viable overnight.

Agreed, but I don't think that dumping ALARA will fix nuclear cost. There's still plenty of stuff in a nuclear reactor hot enough that we have to worry about keeping it from being inadvertently released.
it's one of but not biggest. Biggest is poor supply chain. Try copy rosatom first in their variety of services...
