Olkiluoto was not an exercise to make nuclear power affordable. The company was granted with a permission to build a single reactor, the first permit in decades, so they chose the most powerful one available, a first of its kind.
With all the overruns, it has certainly proved to be an expensive build. However, it's all been done with private money, unlike the so called cheap renewables that cost the public hundreds of millions in subsidies.

(I hope you understand why you "greens" don't fare so well when it comes to elections -- you don't have a message to stand on!)
