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 the project is still pure cost plus putting all construction and financial risk on the governments tab.
