Wow. This means a backup diesel generator for a nuclear plant comes with a 99 million dollar piece of paper. That is insane.

Fun story and telling. My DIRECT experience in the LWR business is that the variability in quality was customer-driven and not regulatory. While you are speaking of one customer, it applies to whole industries. I would surmise there are people for whom a good lawnmower is ready for the heap in 2-3 years while others get 20+ years. The manufacturing matters of course but so does the customer.
