You could approach this for a particular plant that is operating by going to the operating company. I can give you a link to a paper which tries to examine the situation for new build plants. The general conclusion is that costs of new nuclear are similar to new fossil fuel plants. The costs are made up differently however. For a nuclear plant the capital costs are very high but the fuel costs low, for fossil fuel plants it is the opposite. this means there is a lot of uncertainty in any prediction. See link below

If a nuclear power plant were to be decommissioned or shut down, the costs for decommissioning and managing the spent nuclear fuel can run into billions of dollars. These costs are typically factored into the overall cost of nuclear energy production and are often covered by a decommissioning fund that the plant operator is required to establish during the operation of the plant.
