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...
