The Economics of Nuclear Power
Greenpeace has released our study on nuclear economics.
http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/press/reports/the-economics-of-nuclear-power
It was co authored by former NRC Commissioner and NY State Public Service Commissioner Peter Bradford, among others.
The new report published by a team of international energy and economic experts conclusively proves that nuclear power is neither a practical nor economically viable solution to tackling climate change.
The report, "The Economics of Nuclear Power", commissioned by Greenpeace International, finds that nuclear power plant construction can run up to 300% over budget and, on average, take four years longer to build than planned.
There's good specif info about the US experience as well as the foibles abroad.
Please feel free to make use of it!

"Switching from coal to nukes," said Dan Becker, director of the Sierra Club's global warming program, "is like giving up smoking and taking up crack."
"Americans cannot escape a certain responsibility for what is done in our name around the world. In a democracy, even one as corrupted as ours, ultimate authority rests with the people. We empower the government with our votes, finance it with our taxes, bolster it with our silent acquiescence. If we are passive in the face of America's official actions overseas, we in effect endorse them." - Mark Hertzgaard
