That's a ridiculous price for 2 reactors (as I understand the proposal). It was claimed that the costs were skyrocketing due to cost of concrete and other raw materials, so I suspect those price projections have decreased.

Most of the cost over-run from the original estimate (about double) was power transmission. Huge swaths of eminent domain land acquisitions. That's one ot the appeals of distributed power generation.
