I don't know the factor, I think it was about 3x.
But, NuScale has no experience building anything. It's just a startup. It's a miracle they got their reactor design approved.
BWXT however is the company that builds the Navy's naval nuclear reactors. They are cooperating with GE and Hitachi [1] to build a 300 MWe SMR. All 3 of these companies have plenty of experience delivering on numerous types of projects, including nuclear ones. I do think they have a chance.
