Five years ago, when the relevant cost index was 120, a nuclear centrifuge cost $40,000. The centrifuge had a capacity of separating 1,500 gallons of ionized solution per hour. Today, the boss wants to build a centrifuge with capacity of 4,500 gallons per hour, but the cost index now is 300. Assuming a power-sizing exponent of 0.75, determine the approximate cost in today's dollars of the new, larger reactor.
