You need to give size if you’re gonna start quoting build prices. “billions of dollars” would be a plant in the gigawatt range. The US currently uses about 400GW so we’re looking at a couple of trillion USD to replace the entire US grid with nuclear. What’s the surface area required for 400GW of solar / wind? Napkin math suggests around a million acres needed for solar (assuming internet sources are correct)
