China has gotten construction costs and build time for 1TW reactors down to <3B and <8 years. Costs go down when you’ve got enough heavy forging capacity to make the reactor vessel in 1 piece.

There’s lots of factors that affect the price of nuclear builds (and ongoing costs) and I haven’t seen any robust costing of it. They’re certainly leading the field across nuclear, wind and solar.
