The article touches on this a little, but how much of the ballooning cost of Vogtle is inherent to nuclear and how much is the result of poor project management and/or fraud?

I found an article that describes this reactor project and a related one. Both seem to have had issues with delays relating to the modular building aspect and the other project was abandoned entirely, then the contractor pled guilty to fraud charges.
