A lot of those costs come from over cautiousness on the part of regulators. Requiring that radiation exposure on site all the way to the fence line must be not more than 15mrem per year is just silly. You get more than that walking into a granite building or taking the subway. Remediation requirements also bizarrely require remediation to far below background levels. Former uranium mines in NV have the lowest measurable radiation levels in the whole state.
