It is estimated a new nuclear plant built today in the US would cost $10-12 billion for a 1500-1600 MW plant. Then once you have the plant built, one load of fuel bundles would cost approx. $150 to $200 million.

How much will it cost to maintain a nuclear power plant?
it costs 99 sents.
How much land does a nuclear power plant need?
alot:)
Is green energy cost effective?
define green....... anything like a solar panel or a windmill...yes. But like a power plant no it costs way to much to burn or incinerate anything to make energy...unless you consider a nuclear power plant green.
How much does it cost to run a geothermal power plant?
it costs about €500
Is A Coal Power Station Better Than A Nuclear Power Station?
yes a coal is nature nuclear uses lots of power Process for production of power from coal is very inefficient , More over it produces lot of carbon dioxide in to atmosphere (harmful green house gas). While Process for production of power from Nuclear plant is very good when compared with coal power. But initial and maintenance cost is very high. Unit cost for coal power is more economical than nuclear power. So economically coal power station is better. But on the basis of efficiency Nuclear power stations are good. When the deaths caused by the two types of mining are considered, coal fired systems have a much higher overall death rate. But the coal mining industry is improving this.
How much will it cost to maintain a nuclear power plant?
it costs 99 sents.
How much does it cost to run a nuclear power plant per year?
It takes about 8-10 mn $ to setup a nuclear power plant. but the resources used in it are inexpensive common in the earth's crust
Does nuclear power pollute?
Not really. You receive 100 times as much radiation from coal power plant pollution than you do from nuclear power plant leaks.
How much land does a nuclear power plant need?
alot:)
How much power does one nuclear power plant give off?
Depends on the design.
How much does nuclear energy cost per joule?
See the attached link below for a survey of the economics of nuclear power
How much does nuclear power on average cost?
if you are asking about generally around the world i dont know but to build one single power plant it is approx. $10 billion dollars.
How much power does a nuclear plant produce?
Up to 1500MWe per reactor
How much money does a nuclear power plant make every year?
123412
How much uranium is need to power a nuclear power plant for eighteen months?
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
How much would you save if you built a nuclear power plant?
Figures published on website www.world-nuclear.org show that the projected overall cost of electric power from nuclear plants is similar to that from fossil fuelled plants (coal or natural gas). Nuclear plants cost more to build but the fuel costs are lower, so they need to be run at full power whenever possible.
How do you use fission and fusion in a nuclear power plant?
We don't yet know how to use fusion in a power plant. All nuclear power plants use fission only. Fusion is much harder, but will be better if we can figure it out.
