- Gwypaas 4y ago> The LCOE figures for existing Generation II nuclear power plants integrating post-Fukushima stress tests safety upgrades following refurbishment for extended operation (10-20 years on average): (in 2012 euros) €23/MWh to €26/MWh (5% and 10% discount rate). There, from a source extremely positively biased towards nuclear. https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/economic-aspects/economics-of-nuclear-power.aspx https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/economic-aspec... Putting the 2012 €23/MWh to €26/MW in an inflation calculator gives €26/MWh to €29/MWh.
