That's definitely suboptimal. Why was that?

I think most NPPs run billions and at least a decade over budget at this point.

I suppose it's easier to sell the population on a smaller cost to the taxpayer, and then pay more anyway.

It was sold as being modular, with lots of fabrication happening off site. That didn't come to fruition. It was also not too far removed from nukegate in South Carolina.
