In France, we don't know how much their first wave of reactor construction cost, because the accounting mixed military and civilian development, and the paperwork has been lost. What we DO know is their recent attempts have gone disastrously wrong, with cost ballooning far outside the initial estimates. New nuclear is no longer a practical option there, if it ever was.
