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.
