Solution

The correct option is A

True


Cost of fuel in nuclear power plant is considered as the capital cost. The total operating cost involves wages and the salaries of operating and maintenance staff only, cost of disposal of waste etc.. The cost of transporting and handling of coal for a thermal power plant is much higher than the cost of nuclear fuel.
