your link didn't provide any numbers as far as i can see, so i'll add another one. This one is very long though, my quoted numbers are from the appendix and are merely estimates. Read the article if you want to know more about it.

> Regarding bare plant costs, some recent figures apparently for overnight capital cost (or engineering, procurement and construction – EPC – cost) quoted from reputable sources but not necessarily comparable are:

  * EdF Flamanville EPR: €4 billion/$5.6 billion, so €2434/kW or $3400/kW
  * Bruce Power Alberta 2x1100 MWe ACR, $6.2 billion, so $2800/kW
  * CGNPC Hongyanhe 4x1080 CPR-1000 $6.6 billion, so $1530/kW
