Own calculation does not concern other technologies. Nevertheless comparison of electricity prize is possible according to data from "Major cost's analysis".

It is important to admit that this analysis [132] is very wide and extensive. It contains data from 35 different studies and gives good overview of the situation. But it is not only report admitting no competitiveness of nuclear energy in relation to other technologies. Similar conclusions are included in [4],[70],[136],[135],[137],[138],[141]
