GHG emissions (g CO2 equivalent \/ kWh)<\/p>\n
25.1 — Extract, enrich and deliver fuel<\/p>\n
8.2 — Plant construction<\/p>\n
11.6 — Plant operation<\/p>\n
9.2 — Spent fuel conditioning and storage<\/p>\n
12.0 — Deconstruct plant and reclaim land<\/p>\n
Since a typical NPP puts out 1000 MW, multiply the above by 1 million to get grams CO2 equivalent for each hour of operation.<\/p>\n
