In 2012, a Japanese team estimated that their seawater extraction technique, using previous tech, could be developed for about $300 per kilogram. That was about three times the commercial price at that point, but right now, the price is around half of that.

witch means the currant commercial price is berry nice at $50/kg?

I seem to recall a past discussion in this forum about this. Maybe that was an article from the 2012 team that was referenced. Sounds like it's still not cost effective, but getting closer. Still in the "one of these days" folder.

Found it, it was last year: https://www.nukeworker.com/forum/index.php/topic,41501.msg194905.html#msg194905 (https://www.nukeworker.com/forum/index.php/topic,41501.msg194905.html#msg194905)
