The BWRX-300 was purported to be cost competitive, but it turned out this was because the newbs designing it (all the experienced NPP designers had retired) screwed it up. Their plan to make the containment small by omitting safety systems was a complete nonstarter. They had no one around to tell them their idea wouldn't fly.
