>20x - 40x more expensive than projected
That is an impressive cost overrun!
I guess the issue with nuclear is that they are so expensive that even a x2 overrun is disastrous.

It's not as disasterous as you think. Most people paying for power plants expect large overruns. If you're the type of company that can sell bonds to get 5.5 billion dollars to build a nuclear power plant, you can sell bonds to get 11 billion dollars to build a nuclear power plant.
