the cost index ten years ago was 128, a nuclear centrifuge costs $37000. the centrifuge had a capacity of seperating 3600 gallons of ionized solution per hour. today it is desired to build a centrifuge with a capacity of 7800 gallons per hour but the cost index now is 380. assuming a power-sizing exponent to reflect economies of scale, x, of 0.65. use the power sizing model to determine the approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor.
