Considering renovation of one of the reactors in the STP (South Texas Project) nuclear plant cost ~$5B I find that $10B suspiciously low. The renovation project I was made aware of was supposed to be done by Fluor. I don't know if it took place.
The Wikipedia page for STP talks about some $10-14B for two new reactors on the existing site. Originally applied for circa'07. If the reactors ever get built they will cut down on natural gas usage and be more more profitable than gas plants over their 25+ year lifespan.
I can only imagine a modern net-new nuclear power generation facility in the most hospitable jurisdiction would cost beyond $20B when all is said and done.
