10. The Financial Story Is by far the cheapest fuel to produce of the four main fuels (Coal, Gas, Nuclear, and Petroleum) at only $1.76 per kilowatt-hour Is comparable to petroleum in operations and maintenance costs and is constantly improving in this category Is by far the cheapest in terms of cost for the fuel at $0.47 per kilowatt-hour. The nuclear industry is up-and-coming

11. Nuclear Power in the United States Currently 109 operational plants, the most in the world The United States produces about 97, 400 watts of nuclear energy per year (20% of total internal energy needs) The United States produces the most nuclear energy in the world, but with a catch Renewed Interest: Nuclear Power 2010

12. Nuclear Power Around the World 30 countries use nuclear energy 435 operational Nuclear Reactors worldwide 29 reactors are under construction as nuclear energy expands Asia leads the charge with plans for large expansion Europe is across the spectrum in terms of nuclear energy production
