> We need to store it until we have fast reactors that can use it for fuel

Which obligates us and generations after us, to keep using nuclear and develop those in the first place. So, please factor in those costs today into the price.

We have no idea what those costs will be. Given that for-profit companies are trying to develop new fast reactors, at least some people think it will actually be profitable.

However, I guess it's reasonable to include some such estimated cost in today's reactor prices, if we also:

1) Include the costs of climate change and/or ambient carbon removal in the cost of all fossil fuels, and

2) In wind/solar costs, include the cost of all the batteries, long-distance transmission, demand management, and overproduction that we'd need to keep the grid reliable without the fossil backup we're using today. Areas with sufficient hydro can skip this.
