Why isn't nuclear energy cost effective?
It is not true. The levelized cost of a kilowatt hour electricity from nuclear energy is cheaper than any other source of electricity except hydraulic power in some countries.
Why is nuclear energy fairly cheap?
nuclear energy is fairly cheap for many reasons. Mainly, the life time of a nuclear power plants is 60 years and that the nuclear fuel contribution to the cost of generated kilowatt.hour is very low.
What is the cost of using nuclear energy?
Nuclear Energy was at Low and affordable cost, compared to other sources of energy, particularly if the need for nuclear warheads was one of its end-products. Now, if we add mining pollution, CO2 emissions, stringent safety measures, possible catastrophe compensations, decommissioning cost, environmental degradation, radioactivity dissipation impact on people in the vicinity of nuclear installation, nuclear fuel reprocessing and disposal, transportation safety, handling hazards, technical monopoly of the nuclear industry and unsustainability of Uranium deposits due to its limited resources of high U235 content, we can say that the most expensive and risky investment is in nuclear energy, particularly after the privatization of many large energy companies and also after Fukushima Disaster on March 11th 2011 (see more at face book: Nuclear Free Jordan)> If you visit the site below, you can see MIT estimate of cost, where nuclear energy is the most expensive. Latest German research ( The German Renewable Energy Federation-BEE) has proved further that if all factors are considered the actual cost of nuclear energy can reach Euro 2.36 per KW.hour.
How much does nuclear energy cost per joule?
See the attached link below for a survey of the economics of nuclear power
How does nuclear energy affect the economy?
Nuclear energy affects our economy because of all the nuclear plants built from it. It harms us a lot!. The cost of these nuclear plants are around 2 billion dollars each, however many people do not realize this!! Camila More Info- camilaurbieta@yahoo.com
Is cost a concern about nuclear energy?
No
How much nuclear energy do people need to import to match their needs?
Nuclear energy supplies a proportion of electricity used, in the US this is about 19 percent, so a consumer imports that proportion of nuclear energy. The actual amount clearly depends on how much electricity that consumer uses.
Why is Japan becoming nuclear?
Japan reduces its dependence on imported oil when inreasing the contribution of nuclear energy in covering consumer energy requirements.
What is the cost of nuclear energy compered to solar energy?
£100,000.00
Does hydro energy cost less then nuclear energy?
Yes much less
What limits the use of nuclear energy?
Fear and capital cost.
What is a benefit of using nuclear energy?
It does not pollute and is a very cost-effective energy source.

What is energy management?
Is a process that not only manages the energy production from different energy harvesting resources (solar, nuclear, fossil fuel) but also its efficient utilization at the consumer devices.
What is the set up cost of nuclear energy?
See the article linked below
What is uses of nuclear energy?
The use of nuclear energy is to produse large quantity of electricity, whihh is higher than other energy sources. But the drawback is its safty and cost, requirement of skilled person...
