The unit nuclear power generation cost of 7.2 yen/kWh includes 1.9 yen/kWh in capital cost, 0.6 yen/kWh in fuel cost, 2.7 yen/kWh in operation and maintenance cost, 1.8 yen/kWh in backend cost and 0.3 yen/kWh in reactor decommissioning cost.
For a typical 1,000 MWe BWR or PWR, the approximate cost of fuel for one reload (replacing one third of the core) is about $40 million, based on an 18-month refueling cycle. The average fuel cost at a nuclear power plant in 2014 was 0.76 cents / kWh.Because nuclear plants refuel every 18-24 months, they are not subject to fuel price volatility like natural gas and oil power plants.roduction costs are modeled for utilities that are not regulated. Fuel costs make up 30 percent of the overall production costs of nuclear power plants. Fuel costs for coal, natural gas and oil, however, make up about 80 percent of the production costs.
