Correction to correction: it now appears the 8.6 billion is for a single 1000 MW plant.
Mea maxima culpa.
Correction. It seems the deal is for APR1000’s, not 1400’s. So $4300/kW.
The Czechs have signed at deal with KHNP for two APR1400 with options for 2 more. Reportedly the price is 8.6 billion USD. If this number holds up, that will be just over $3000/kW.
Why are we still building PWRs? What is the "should cost" of an APR1400 (materials and labor)? Leaving out the turbines, generators, and all that is common to every power plant, what is the should cost of an MSR?
I wonder what KHNP would bid to build an APR-1400 here on US soil.
