Nuclear
Nuclear Power Plant Economics Calculator
Computes the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) for a nuclear power plant by combining capital investment, discounted O&M costs, plant capacity, capacity factor, and operational lifetime. Use it to compare nuclear economics against other generation technologies.
