Reply to comment by acidtalons in Nuclear fusion breakthrough: A physicist answers three vital questions by FarmhouseFan

Source? Wikipedias source has it at 24%. Operational costs aren't too much of a concern with nuclear to my knowledge anyway, capital expenditure is where the big issue is.

Wiki's source seems to be from 2007 when there was a massive Uranium price spike due to the highest grade mines getting flooded. Additionally enrichment methods have changed and it might not have included that.

World nuclear has it somewhere in the $2-5/MWh range.
