It is somewhat convenient when cost and risk go hand in hand. We didn't go for nuclear because of cost, with a nod to risk. Likewise we didn't go for cats and traps due to cost with a nod to risk. I personally believe that building a nuclear powered cat and trap carrier was, is and always will be beyond British industry. In these cases it's straight forward to price yourself out of the market and watch the risk disappear.
