Reactor cost approx. £1200,000,000
300 mega watts @ £80 / mega watt = £24,000 / hour
£24000 / hour x 24 = £576000 / day
365 x 57600 = £210,240,000
1200,000,000 / £210,240,000 = 5.7 years for payback
This does not account for wages, possible interest for loan to build nor maintenance, however these reactors can last for up to 30 years
Not a sexy investment but ideal for pension schemes etc.
