Some of these estimates are certainly on the very conservative side. Example: NUCLEAR ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION (page 59 bottom table) all estimating an impact ratio of 0.1 (cost of waste / revenues) Actual cost of nuclear waste and other related cost are more likely about 100 times or more than estimated in this study - they are pushed to future generations or just passed over to tax payers globally by subsidies or cost covers e.g. cost for dismantling / building back a nuclear power plant after its commercial lifetime - from 3 Billion to 20+ Billion depending on the power plant etc. - power company will only cover a marginal amount of that, majority is paid from taxes. Storage cost for nuclear waste (thousands of years - most likely hundreds if not 1000s of Billions in cost) About 2 years ago in Europe an in-depth scientific study into the actual cost of (uranium based) nuclear power has been undertaken (paid by various European institutions) including all subsidies provided to the power companies for building these nuclear power plants (in Europe hundreds of Billions) and (as far as I remember) also parts of the actual cost for waste - the outcome: true cost per KWh ~1.20 EUR - cost base used in business / profit calculations about 0.02 EUR
