Fuel making: mostly U235 enrichement by gas diffusion process
Reactor building: Special seel and massive concrete structures are energy 
hungry.
Peperwork: When you pay someone to do a job, a part of that income goes to 
energy expanse.
The most costly: dismantling the reactor at the end of its useful life, not a 
simple job with hightly radio-active parts, and keeping them under control 
for centuries. This account for something as 90 percent of the energy cost. 

I think I have put here all my arguments, I don't see what to say more on 
that subject, so I'll stop to write here on nuclear energy for some time. I 
could say the same for religions. My ideas are known, not everyone may agree. 
We could endlessly exchange arguments without changing the mind of anyone. So 
I stop that exchange too. If someone feels otherwise, we can continue by 
private mail...
