Nuclear power has very low operating, maintenance and fuel costs. Generation III pressurised water reactors offer electricity at under 10 cents per kWh, with most of the cost representing interest. For comparison, crude oil and natural gas would have to be $30-$35 per barrel and 28-33 cents per cubic metre respectively to be competitive.
The UAE purchased four nuclear reactors from South Korea for $30 billion, with another $20 billion for 20 years of operation. This translates to a cost of 5.5 cents per kWh, along with other costs, including waste management and insurance.
Total costs are not expected to exceed 10 cents per kWh, lower than 18 cents for petroleum and 11 cents for natural gas at current prices.
