18 Global impact of recycling on kwh production cost The total generation cost is dominated by the capital cost The fuel cycle costs is typically 15% to 20% of the total generation cost The back-end costs are fairly small when compared to the total generation cost: 5% to 7% Natural Uranium Conversion Enrichment Fuel Fabrication Transport Treatment for Recycling Breakdown of the cost of nuclear fuel cycle* Storage *Assumptions: natural uranium of $52/lb and discount rate of 8% except for expenditure relating to ultimate waste stages in the fuel cycle (transport, treatment and storage) which are calculated using a 3% discount rate (source: ) Recycling as an option of Used Nuclear Fuel Management Strategy I. Leboucher - p.18
19 Recycling is a competitive solution compared to direct disposal A 1994 OECD study shows that the overall costs of recycling and direct disposal are more or less identical A study conducted by BCG (Boston Consulting Group) in the US in 2006 shows the costs of recycling and direct disposal to be comparable RECYCLING DIRECT DISPOSAL Credits (Plutonium and Uranium) Interim Storage Recycling Transports Waste disposal Interim Storage Transports Packaging Waste Disposal Sources: and OECD-Nuclear Energy Agency at Recycling as an option of Used Nuclear Fuel Management Strategy I.
