Yes, an increased cost of materials--as well as economy-wide inflation and a rise in interest rates--were the proximate cause of the NuScale project. But what the Oilprice article and, I assume, that of the NYT failed to identify were larger, underlying causes: the glacial pace of the NRC , and other significant obstructions to nuclear erected over the last 50+ years in the US.

... NuScale’s pilot project has collapsed due to ... ... failed to identify ... larger, underlying causes ... Stakeholders reviewing their business case could only see an endless future of cheap coal and cheap gas in relentlessly rising competition. They would have seen a reliably profitable future if they have been promised a relentlessly rising carbon tax instead.

Good points, RC. A well crafted carbon tax in the US would work wonders--as one would in Australia. Nuclear would be a prime beneficiary.
