Question:
1.) Compute the cost of electricity (in units of $/kWh) from a nuclear power plant under the above assumptions.
2.) What percentage of the total LCOE is due to fuel costs?
Fixed O&M is 75 $/kW-year.
Variable O&M is $.0075/kWh
Capital cost is $5500/kW
capital charge factor is 10%
Utilization is 85%
Plant thermal efficiency is 35%
Each ton of uranium oxide fuel provides 50 GW-days of thermal energy
Fuel cost is $2,500,000 per ton
