Uranium is $128.30/kg
After enrichment, conversion and fabrication that’s $3400/kg for 4.95% fuel.
At 36-45MWd/kg and a net thermal efficiency of 25% or $12.5/MWh up front.
With a 90 month lead time (72 month fuel cycle and 18 months inventory) at 3% this is $16.2/MWh
Please keep it constructive (see instance rules). I agree that these are all tired and long dis-proven talking points of the nuclear lobby, but this lobby was very successful in gaslighting many French like @[email protected] and your style of argumentation is just going to make them defensive.
You have a point I guess. I find it difficult to consider the possibility of good faith when they roll out the “the greens ruined energywende and committed to gas” dogwhistle, but there is a possibility.
