In Canada, the cost of using natural uranium fuel
is low.
In the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, in
1996, the production unit energy cost (operating, maintenance, administration
and fuel) was 0.65 cents (US) per kWh. The cost of the fuel was 0.19 cents
per kWh, which included the provision for permanent used fuel disposal, at an
average cost of 0.07 cents per kWh.*
Costs have certainly risen, especially after
9/11.

What is the contribution to production (O&M)
costs?
Thanks.
