There is a Canadian company that is gearing up to make small reactor vessels like the BWRX-300 but so far I haven’t seen a sign they aren’t Nuscale 2.0

If for arguments sake it were a part for an AWACS or an aircraft carrier you might only need to make eight or a dozen. But even military aircraft tend to run into the hundreds.
We are part of a few companies just in time manufacturing so they pay for expedite processing on orders as small a one piece to a few dozen. And we can get production run orders in the tens of thousands.
I saw a link from some government minister in Canada named Don Morgan who stated a BWRX-300 would cost $5B (CAN), which comes to about $3.6B (US). $12/W (US) is not the worst, but it isn't great. Not clear if that was all-in cost or just overnight cost.
