The first new nuclear powerplant in 30 years in the United States has now been authorized for construction.
Current estimates are that a typical 1 MW new-generation reactor will end up costing about $5 billion. This includes a large amount for regulatory compliance and other administrative costs not specifically related to building the actual reactor (estimates are that the actual construction cost of the reactor is only about 60% of that price).

How much would it cost to replace Fukushima with wind turbines?
The cost is approximately 98.9 Billion U.S.D. A single nuclear powerplant such as fukushima cost around 400 million to build.
How much did it cost to build the nine mile point nuclear powerplant?
Nine mile point consists of two BWR's, operated by Constellation Energy Group. I think you will have to ask them for such commercial information. See link below

What is the average cost to build a typical nuclear power plant?
6-7 billion
How much does it cost to build a nuclear submarine?
Current-generation U.S. nuclear submarines are likely to cost around $2 billion each to construct (after including R&D costs).
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.
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.
Why does nuclear energy cost so much?
Nuclear energy costs are high due to the large initial investment required to build a nuclear power plant, as well as ongoing costs for operation, maintenance, and decommissioning. Safety regulations and security measures also add to the overall cost of nuclear energy production.
How much money does nuclear energy save people?
Nuclear energy can provide cost savings by producing lower-cost electricity compared to other energy sources. This can lead to lower electricity bills for consumers. Additionally, nuclear energy can help reduce reliance on volatile fossil fuel prices, which can also contribute to cost savings for consumers.
How much would it cost to get rid of a large amount of the US's nuclear weapons?
It is difficult to estimate the exact cost as it depends on various factors such as the method of disposal, storage, and cleanup. However, dismantling a large amount of nuclear weapons can cost billions of dollars due to the complexities involved in ensuring safety, security, and proper disposal of radioactive materials.
How much money dose plutonium cost?
The price of nuclear weapons grade plutonium is approx. 4 000 US $ for one gram, in 2010.
