Eh, it's like 20 billion? Sure, the project management has been r-slurred, but building normal nuclear power plants is going to cost anything from 8 (Chinkland) to 10 (single new reactor in Finland) to 20 (big turkroach NPP project) billion anyway, so it's not even extraordinarily expensive for the field.
