 @43d7c4ea I really don't support opening new nuclear power plants. But how much of the cost of a MWh of nuclear electricity is from the uranium? How much of a difference will doubling the fuel cost make? Isn't most of the cost from the difficulty of building and running the plant and dealing with the waste rather?

It wasn't the price I was highlighting rather the demand... its the key resource & so demand looks to be rising suggesting more use.... the actual price, as you say, is only a  proportion of the total cost of supply
