I read that too. But they didn't disclose the recycling costs or by-products produced in recycling, which I thought was interesting. Furthermore, there are 296,000,000+ people in the U.S., or 74,000,000 families of four and the U.S. already has two times the number of reactors as France. That amounts to 7,400,000 deadly "lighters" produced every single year for which "scientists don't know how to reduce or eliminate the toxicity, but maybe in 100 years perhaps scientists will." And that does not take into account by-products of recycling or increased demand in the future. Nuclear has its place, but there are some pretty large issues yet to be addressed to make it acceptible long-term. Just my opinion.

Do they factor in the recylcing costs of coal mines, or the cost of land use for them, or the transportation cost for coal, or the pollution cost?

Which would take generations to fill a single average strip mine.
