Detailed review of nuclear economics and constraints by Amory Lovins. Among the many detailed points made, the article also mentions our work:

"For illustration, Figure 3 optionally adds back windpower’s PTC but not the pre-2005 subsidies received by central stations, especially nuclear power. Those nuclear subsidies are complex, diverse and disputed but the most authoritative independent US expert, Doug Koplow, estimates ~$0.0079-0.0422/kWh, increased by another ~$0.034-0.040/kWh in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 for at least the next 6GWe ordered."

The article is also accessible here in PDF format with much better layout.
