kWe

Right now for commercial spacecraft it costs about $1 M/kWe just for the spacecraft hardware and that does not count launch costs.

If you compare the cost per kWe with spacebased PVs versus earthbased PVs there is no comparison.

For gas-cooled reactors, the costs were much higher due to the greater amount of radioactive materials involved, reaching $2600/kWe for some UK Magnox reactors.

A small-scale design developed by Toshiba Corporation in cooperation with Japan's Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) and funded by the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) is the 5 MWt, 200 kWe Rapid-L, using lithium-6 (a liquid neutron poison) as a control medium.

Fast neutron reactors (FBR) 2009

Scaling of the construction costs from the Bechtel estimates suggests a total plant cost on the order of $15 billion, or $15,000/kWe of plant rating.
