power plant approved. Were commissioned in Japan in 1996 and 1997. These took just over 3 years to construct and were completed on budget. Their construction costs were around $2000 per KW.

• operating :Since 1987 the cost of producing electricity from has decreased from 3.63 cents per KWHr to 1.68 cents per KWHr in 2004 and plant availability has increased from 67% to over 90%. The price of Uranium Ore contributes approximately 0.05 cents per KWHr.

• The cost of waste disposal :In the USA, Nuclear Power operators are charged 0.1 cents per KW-Hr for the disposal of Nuclear Waste.

• The cost of decommissioning the plant.:The US industry average cost for decommissioning a power plant is USD $300 million The French and Swedish Nuclear Industries expect decommissioning costs to be 10 -15 % of the construction costs and budget this into the price charged for electricity.

核能發電之特性

The relatively high capital cost of nuclear power means that financing cost and time taken in construction are critical, relative to gas and even coal. But the fuel cost is very much lower, and so once a plant is built its cost of production is very much more predictable than for gas or even coal.

發電成本 &燃料費用趨勢US figures for 2008 published by NEI show the general picture, with nuclear generating power at 1.87 c/kW.

cost for nuclear rising about 9%, for coal rising 31% and for gas 66%.

各國核電廠興建成本• The cost per unit of electricity produced (kW·h) will vary according to country, depending on costs in the area,

consequent financial and other risks, and the availability and cost of finance. Costs will also depend on geographic factors , and availability of suitable power grid connections. So it is not possible to accurately estimate costs on a global basis.

• 2007 estimates have considerable uncertainty in overnight cost, Moody's Investors Service conservative estimate of between $5,000 and $6,000/kWe. In June 2008 Moody's estimated that the cost of installing new nuclear capacity in the U.S. might possibly exceed $7,000/kWe in final cost

• February 2008 — For two new AP1000 reactors at its Turkey Point site which were include cooling towers, site works, land costs, transmission costs and risk management for total costs of $3108 to $4540 per kilowatt. Adding in finance charges increased the overall figures to $5780 to $8071 per kW.

• March 2008 — For two new AP1000 reactors in Florida Progress Energy announced that if built within 18 months of each other, the cost for the first would be $5144 per kilowatt and the second $3376/kW - $9.4 billion. total would be about $14 billion.

• May 2008 — For two new AP1000 reactors in South Carolina South Carolina Electric and Gas Co. and Santee Cooper expected to pay $9.8 billion

• November 2008 — For two new AP1000 reactors at its Bellefonte site TVA updated its estimates for overnight capital cost estimates ranged to $2516 to $4649/kW for a combined construction cost of $5.6 to 10.4 billion (total costs of $9.9 to $17.5 billion).

• April 2008 —two AP1000 reactors to be built at Vogtle,[22] at an estimated final cost of $14 billion plus $3 billion for necessary transmission upgrades.[23]

• In 2009, the published cost for 4 AP1000 reactors under construction in China was a total of $8 billion.
