I would have thought the cost of making the cast for a 500 ton forging

Trival == 300 to 350 Million dollars??

The cost for a 1,6 GWe EPR is about 4 billions euros, about 10 times
higher
As I recall, the forging (not casting, which would be much cheaper)
is about 10 million dollars, or 5 million euros -- order of magnitude.

I don' know
But what about the need of steel (tonn per kWe installed) for a nuclear or a
coal plant, or a natural gas CC?

I was quite wrong. The figure is indeed 300 to 350 million dollars.
