Even coal power plants cost several billion. I don't think an order of magnitude reduction in cost is foolish to count on.
The issue is the design of extremely specialized components, not necessarily the raw materials (except when they're novel superconducting magnets designed for that purpose).
I think schedule delays are what is making ITER so expensive.
