Where does all the money for nuclear come from?

Nuclear power plants are built under commercial arrangements-the power company will borrow capital from banks and repay interest from the sales of electricity. The snag might be after the end of life-who is going to pay for the decommissioning? In the UK costs are being borne by government and I guess this also applies in the US. Other costs are of course borne by the military out of taxation.

They are many but the most famous three are: uranium-233, Uranium-235, and Plutonium-239.Another answerUranium-235, uranium-238, and plutonium-239 are all capable of undergoing neutron induced fission. Actually there are other isotopes that also do this, but they are not commonly used as fuel.

Can all types of uranium be used in making electricity in a reactor?

Uranium-235 and uranium-233 (obtained from thorium-232) are fissile isotopes and used as nuclear fuels. Uranium-238 is fissionable with fast neutrons but the important use is as fertile material (to obtain plutonium-239). Other uranium isotopes are without use.
