The other day I tried getting a ballpark number for how much energy we can actually generate per kg of raw, natural uranium in an LWR, and ended up with 50MWh - 100MWh. That includes what is lost during enrichment, average reactor efficiency, etc.
Whether it costs a dollar or a thousand really doesn't matter much.
