For nuclear power, the costs also consists of capital, O&M and nuclear fuel costs. Similar to the renewable energy options, technology improvement nuclear power is described via a learning curve (so costs decrease with cumulative installed capacity). At the same time, fuel costs increase as a function of depletion. Fuel costs are determined on the basis of the estimated extraction costs of uranium and thorium resources, as is described in the | For nuclear power, the costs also consists of capital, O&M and nuclear fuel costs.

At the same time, fuel costs increase as a function of depletion. Fuel costs are determined on the basis of the estimated extraction costs of uranium and thorium resources, as is described in the component [[Energy supply]] . A small trade model for these fission fuels is included. | ||
