Equations for determination of fuel costs in nuclear ship propulsion; curves based on assumed values for fuel fabrication and chemical processing; importance of fuel burn-up ratios and core cycle time; need for improvement of chemical processing techniques; it is suggested low chemical processing costs, high burnup ratios, and long core cycle time are keys to economic fuel utilization.
