Hinkley C in the UK is projected to cost at least £23 billion. Vogtle in the USA is projected to cost at least $27 billion.

These construction costs alone could be what finally kills nuclear power in the West.

This is the U.S. $27 billion is chump change this decade. We pay over $3 billion per mile of subway track now in NYC.
