"Fuel costs make up 24 percent of the overall production costs of nuclear power plants."
...or at least so says this site:
Costs: Operating / Building / Waste Disposal
nei.org

...but that is the total fuel cost, not just U3O8, which has to be processed, enriched and fabricated.

This site shows the breakdown of the total fuel cost:

In that case, I think we will see uranium at $200 in the next eighteen months.

I try to beware of wild speculative pie-in-the-sky mania, but just looking at this cold-bloodedly, arithmetically, I have never seen anything that appeared to me to be as clearly a sure thing as uranium right now.

I said in another post today that I don't recall seeing any coverage of uranium in the Wall Street Journal. Have you seen any? They finally did quit sending me free copies so I haven't seen but a few issues in the last several weeks. I think there may have been one or two casual references in Barron's.
