And yet UAE a country without any technical knowlage built them in a cost effective way and quickly.

In fact, any country that has built them in mass figured out how to do it cost effective and quickly.

The reality is, its only not cost effective and quick when a country only builds a single reactor as a vanity project to keep the industry alive.

No country that seriously tried to quickly increase production with nuclear has failed.

The UAE spent $30B and a decade building one nuclear plant. The technical knowledge (and the design, and the construction) came from South Korea.
The true costs are unknown. All we have is the announced figure and then two parties with an interest in showing low costs despite a 4 year delay saying

"Yes sir, all went according to plan!!"

Even though it obviously did not all go according to plan.
