This graph shows the production expenses of U.S. nuclear reactors and fossil-steam plants from 1998 through 2008. In 2005, production expenses of U.S. nuclear reactors were 18.16 U.S. dollars per megawatt hour, compared to fossil-steam plant expenses of 27.69 U.S. dollars per megawatt hour. According to the source, production expense is one component of the cost of generating electric power, which includes costs associated with fuel, as well as plant operation and maintenance.
