Current-generation U.S. nuclear submarines are likely to cost around $2 billion each to construct (after including R&D costs).

How much does builing a submarine cost?

The current-generation U.S.S. Virginia nuclear attack submarines cost between 1.8 and 2 billion dollars each, including the amortized development costs for designing the class (i.e. it costs about 1.4 billion or so to actually build the sub, but there were several billion in startup, R&D, and design costs for the class, which adds about .5 billion to each sub). A typical non-nuclear attack submarine (such as the German Type 212) costs around $500 million, including the amortized development costs. Note that the typical non-nuclear attack submarine is usually about half the size (and a quarter of the displacement) of a nuclear attack sub.

How much is the cost of Nuclear Bomb which is used on Second World War?

Construction of the infrastructure to build them cost $2,000,000,000 but the incremental cost per bomb was much less, I doubt they cost a million a piece and the cost would have dropped with increased production.


Is nuclear energy expensive and available at all times?

The generating cost is much the same overall as coal, the fuel cost is lower but the plants are more expensive to build. Most nuclear plants run on base load because the fuel cost is lower.
