Fast breeder reactor costing

TOKYO, Japan - File photo taken on November 2011 shows the prototype fast-breeder reactor Monju in Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture. If development of Monju is continued, its costs will swell to over 1.4 trillion yen and its power generation costs will be 10,000 yen per kilowatt hour, roughly 1,000 times greater than a regular reactor, according to data compiled by Kyodo News.
