The back-end of the fuel cycle, including spent fuel storage or disposal in a waste repository, contributes up to another 10% to the overall costs per kWh, - less if there is direct disposal of spent fuel rather than reprocessing. The $18 billion US spent fuel program is funded by a 0.1 cent/kWh levy. This same source claims 18 billion is in the waste fund from the tax on consumers, but you have conceded that Yucca moiuntain cost projections are 56 billion? and Yucca's space is already spoken for, without even taking into account those spent fuel rod storage pools. This is a pro-nuclear source of information too. Once the facts come out from under the murky disinformation of the nuclear "priesthood", the future of nuclear power looks very dark indeed!
