I have blogged in previous posts about my concern over the cost of nuclear power. I believe that the cost of nuclear power will continue to rise and that, ultimately, the taxpayers in the United States and other parts of the world that use nuclear energy will wind up paying huge amounts of money to deal with spent nuclear fuel. There is a factor in the cost of nuclear power that I have not dealt with in detail before.
