2) relatively the same, though piping is cheaper because there is less manufacturing cost
3) for item 2, I would try manufacturer's cataglogs.

RE: Nuclear Plant Piping
Actual pipe lengths and exact layout also depend on the specific plant. I can tell you first hand that the 688 class submarines each are a little different, even while maintaining almost identical operational characteristics.
