The cost for the contract with Atomstroyexport is set on 3,997 Billion EUR. Next to that, there is also money needed for infrastructure, temporary nuclear waste storage and organisation and capital costs. This brings the total budget according to NEK on around 7 Billion EUR.

That's a nice gravy train for the construction companies with close connections to the government officials. In this respect the project is no different to any other in the "West". However I do not believe the French, Brits or Finns would build a nuke in an earthquake zone! That's a specifically Bulgarian variety of stupidity.
