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.

What is a limiting factor for using nuclear energy?
There are quite a few limiting factors for using nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is very expensive to produce for example.
How much does nuclear energy cost per joule?
See the attached link below for a survey of the economics of nuclear power
What is the consumer cost of nuclear energy?
I refer you to an article linked below.
How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
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.
What is a benefit of using nuclear energy?
It does not pollute and is a very cost-effective energy source.
When did the us start using nuclear energy?
The USA started using nuclear energy in 1951

Uses of nuclear energy in science?
nuclear energy is using the energy of science to be used as a weapon that has connections to science
What is one difference between using nuclear energy and biomass energy?
Nuclear energy does not produce carbon dioxide.
What places are using nuclear energy resources?
