Even ignoring the near double price to build nuclear over a new scrubbed coal unit:
Based upon a 1,000 MW Power Plant running full time for a year, you have significant savings on the fuel, which is much (but not all) the O&M variable cost.
Coal = $36,792,000
Nuke = $17,520,000
But the fixed cost to operate a Nuclear plant is so much more, that it overwhelms the savings in fuel.
Coal = $ 29,310,000
Nuke = $ 87,690,000
Total operating cost per year
Coal = $ 66,102,000
Nuke = $ 105,210,000
Now add in the cost of an extra couple billion of a new nuke versus an new coal plant.
