Most people believed that nuclear power was cheaper than most power generation methods.
In fact, it was a misconception.
According to the survey conducted by Bloomberg New Energy Financial Consulting, the global nuclear power plant's power generation cost averages 14 cents USD per kWh, which almost costed the same as solar power generation. Compared to the cost of 8.2 cents of land-based wind power and high-efficiency natural gas power generation, the cost of nuclear power was much higher, and even higher than thermoelectricity power generation using coal, natural gas, or oil.
