Current cost of building a nuclear power plant in the US is probably around $10bn although that could come down if there was a big drive and constant stream of projects
This year's world nuclear industry status report said this about the choices
Prosthetic Conscience wrote:$150 per MWh is the price they'd sell the energy at, I think. For example, Hinkley Point C has a strike price of £92.50/MWh in 2012 prices - which, after a little inflation, is about $140/MWh. At 4.2 billion MWh/year US electricity usage, that's $630 billion/year to pay for the electricity - running costs, and paying back the cost of building the reactors, over many years.Exactly. The Lazard report actually gives a range of $115-195
