Yes that's my understanding as well. Only the parts that are consumed in energy production (aka not physical elements in other products). Then the EIA kind of makes judgement calls where it's messy. The difference is one is measuring ELECTRICITY (where 20% nuclear would make sense), and the other is TOTAL ENERGY (which is electricity + transportation + energy used in heating physical processes etc) In terms of nuclear this link says 8 Quad BTU (out of who knows how many units in TOTAL ENERGY)
