5% seems very very low. I do no think it includes the wire heat waste that are common to coal and nuclear, because according to this: https://blog.schneider-electric.com/energy-management-energy-efficiency/2013/03/25/how-big-are-power-line-losses/ https://blog.schneider-electric.com/energy-management-energy...
