Same costs for HPC, FV3, Polish AP1000s and EPR2s as well.
I don't see the relevance comparing with a plant that start construction over half a century ago?

Do you want to compare maybe with barakah which was not a foak and didn't have the supply chain issues like with epr/ap1000?
You mean middle eastern labor and design that doesn’t fly with western regulations?
Sounds applicable!
Let’s first acknowledge that KHNP pulled out of all western projects except the Czech one after their settlement with Westinghouse. They don’t exist as an option.
Then let’s look at the Czech subsidies. They aren’t materially different compared to any other modern western nuclear construction.
They’ve shaved a few billion from the headline number but still in pure cost plus manner put all construction and financial risk on the governments tab.
