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.

∙ 15y agoThe fuel for nuclear plants are basically elements that can create nuclear reactions, like uranium. Uranium, for example, is found in the low levels of the Earth and it is found in rocks. There are ores, such as Uraninite, that are usually mined, where the uranium is then removed from the ore. For factory grade uranium, they find an unstable version of uranium (Uranium 235) and control its reactions.
