How much did Limerick Generating Station cost to build?

The Limerick Generating Station is the two-unit boiling water reactor nuclear plant in Limerick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, owned and operated by Constellation Energy (formerly Exelon), with a combined capacity of about 2,300 MW, whose construction began on 19 June 1974, whose Unit 1 was commissioned on 1 February 1986 and Unit 2 on 8 January 1990, and whose licences were extended in 2014 to 2044 and 2049. The Nuclear Decommissioning Collaborative gives the construction cost of both units as USD 8.8 billion in 2018 dollars, while the Wikipedia infobox gives USD 7.246 billion in 2007 dollars for Unit 1 only; both are inflation-adjusted figures and not the nominal outlay.
