There are far too many political unknowns for any such estimate to be reliable.

Here is something from outside the industry or environmental lobby.

My comment: Keep in mind that waste costs are fixed at 1/10th of one cent per KWH produced which allows for predictable through cycle costs. That's what the industry pays the US tax payer to assume responsibility.

The operators of nuclear power generation facilities can, though they may not. The information is unlikely to be in the public domain as it is commercially and politically sensitive. Also, it is likely to vary from country to country.
