Olkiluoto 3 under construction in 2009. It is the first EPR design, but problems with workmanship and supervision have created costly delays which led to an inquiry by the Finnish nuclear regulator STUK. In December 2012, Areva estimated that the full cost of building the reactor will be about €8.5 billion, or almost three times the original delivery price of €3 billion.

EPR Flamanville 3 project (seen here in 2010) originally expected to be operational in 2012, has been repeatedly delayed to at least 2024 due to "both structural and economic reasons," and the project's total cost has ballooned well above the original estimates. Similarly, the cost of the identical EPR being built at Olkiluoto, Finland has escalated dramatically, and the project is also well behind schedule. The initial low cost forecasts for these
