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 does deconnissioning affect the overall cost of electricity using nuclear fuels?

Decommissioning nuclear power plants can increase the overall cost of electricity using nuclear fuel, as it involves dismantling and disposing of the plant's components safely. The cost of decommissioning is factored into the lifecycle cost of nuclear power, which can affect the competitiveness of nuclear energy compared to other sources. Proper planning and setting aside funds for decommissioning can mitigate the impact on electricity costs.
