As an alternative, perhaps I should try adorning the walker with a confederate flag, and a headpiece with horns.

Do not put a LAN cable (copper twisted pair, fiber, or coax) in the same conduit as power. That violates the US NEC which is part of the UC UBC and is a really-bad idea. Instead, when you dig a trench bury one conduit for power, and two conduits for Data, because the phone company and the cable company do not play well together. Use long-sweep elbows for the conduit. Consult a wiring table for the size of conduit required for the cable. Use stranded conductors for power.
n.b.: I am moving from overhead to underground 200A electrical power service into my house. The local utility REQUIRES a 4" conduit for up to 400A service.
If it is screwed up, look for an AI root cause.
I listed a wheeled walker (called a rollator) on Facebook Marketplace using the manufacturer's picture and a reference to the manufacturer's website. Facebook hid it because: "This Listing Goes Against Our Rules. It looks like this listing goes against our Commerce Policies. It has been removed and only you can see it now. If you think we got this wrong, you can request a review." I requested a review. Nothing changed.
I listed again using pictures that I took, no reference to the manufacturer, no mention of rollator, clearly indicating that I was selling because I could not use it. Same result.
The third time I did not even mention walker. Facebook complained that the pictures duplicated another listing, so I took more pictures. Same result.
All this time there are many walkers listed on Facebook Marketplace. I can not remove the three hidden listings from my account.

Maybe they were confused between the whitehouse.gov and whitehouse.org sites?
Using values referenced in the article for mini-nuclear power plants (values not verified)
2E9 GBP * 1.32 USD/GBP / ( 440 MWe * 1000 KWe / MWe ) = 6000 USD/KWe
Using values referenced in the comments for the Sheffield nuclear power plants (values not verified)
22E9 GBP * 1.32 USD/GBP / ( 3000 MWe * 1000 KWe / MWe ) = 9680 USD/KWe
These both seem in line with the capital cost for commercial power plants.
As posters have noted, nuclear power has the advantage of higher availability compared to renewable plants or even fossil powered plants.
There are thermodynamic advantages to large power plants. Large power plants also have lower operating cost for personnel compared to a set of smaller power plants with the same total production capacity.
There are additional losses from having to move power from remote electrical power plants to consumers.
Total extra cost of a hybrid = (Ch - Cs)*(1 + IR)^Y + (Ch - Cs) - M * (1/Es - 1/Eh) * G
If you fail to plan, plan to fail.
