Yes, the benefits of nuclear power over weigh the cost of producing it.
I think they are similar, but the cost of coal varies widely and transport can cost a lot. The costs of nuclear look good on paper but cost overruns are frequent and present predictions are not reliable as no plants have been built for a long time, in the US at least.
Nuclear power is the cheapest, safest, and most efficient way to generate power. there are breeder reactors that generate free power by creating fissile material from the normal nuclear waste. so, it does not generate waste
I can give you a link to a paper which discusses recent analysis of this, but I don't think it will be as good as getting the facts direct from a company which is going to build a new plant, though there are often cost overruns in actual building. See link below
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
No. A nuclear power station is a massive undertaking, and is cost effective only on the large scale.
billions of dollars
its actually fifty million moolah
Chernobyl
one NRs 6000000000000000 billion dollars
doesn't cost muchh!
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.

I think you could only get this from an operating power company that owns nuclear plants. You would need to average out the fuel cost per month, as refuelling happens only every few years.
nuclear power plant
Levelized cost of kwh from a nuclear power plant is cheaper than from any fossil fueled power plants.
