Are costs and mismanagement directly related to regulations? Genuine question. This is impression I get from nuclear advocates like Mark Nelson and doomberg.

Yeah that's the complicated part. The regs are responsible for some of the mess, but far from all. It's a complicated subject, probably too much to get into here but you can look at the history of Vogtle as a start. Blaming the NRC is justified at parts, but it really only tells part of the story.
