I can give you a link to a paper which discusses recent analysis of this, but I don't think it will be as good as getting the facts direct from a company which is going to build a new plant, though there are often cost overruns in actual building. See link below

How muchh does it cost a year to run a nuclear power station?

The cost to operate a nuclear power station can vary depending on factors such as size, location, operational efficiency, and maintenance needs. On average, it can range from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars per year. This cost includes expenses for fuel, staffing, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and waste management.


What produces cheaper electricity coal burning power station or a nuclear power stastion?

I think they are similar, but the cost of coal varies widely and transport can cost a lot. The costs of nuclear look good on paper but cost overruns are frequent and present predictions are not reliable as no plants have been built for a long time, in the US at least.


How much would 1 nuclear power station cost?

There are power stations that burn fossil fuels from average of 150 mw to some in Europe that produce over 2.3 G watts (2,300 mega watts) or about 20% of the capacity of the Itapu Dam (18.2 gw) in Brasil.


What is the average cost to decommission a nuclear power plant?

Decommissioning is handled by the NDA (Nuclear Decommissioning Authority), website http://www.nda.gov.uk/. The financial report for 2006/7 and 2007/8 is available from the website. It is naturally a very long report with lots of pretty pictures, but pages 28/29 will probably be of most interest. It says that for 2007/8 £1,646 million was received from the taxpayer, with commercial income of £1,458 million. Nuclear liabilities are listed at £44,095 million and growing compared to the previous year, so there is a long way to go. I will add something for development - this has recently changed


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.

Should we have a nuclear power station in everyone's home?

No. A nuclear power station is a massive undertaking, and is cost effective only on the large scale.

What are the costs per month to run a nuclear power station?

I think you could only get this from an operating power company that owns nuclear plants. You would need to average out the fuel cost per month, as refuelling happens only every few years.

Is A Coal Power Station Better Than A Nuclear Power Station?

yes a coal is nature nuclear uses lots of power Process for production of power from coal is very inefficient , More over it produces lot of carbon dioxide in to atmosphere (harmful green house gas). While Process for production of power from Nuclear plant is very good when compared with coal power. But initial and maintenance cost is very high. Unit cost for coal power is more economical than nuclear power. So economically coal power station is better. But on the basis of efficiency Nuclear power stations are good. When the deaths caused by the two types of mining are considered, coal fired systems have a much higher overall death rate. But the coal mining industry is improving this.
