Is anyone aware of a paper or other research that quatifies the actual
amount of greenhouse gas emissions per unit of power that nuclear
power generates?

It has been argued I have read that once you factor in the carbon
input to mine Uranium and refine it and construct nuclear plants the
greenhouse gas emission benefit to nuclear power is much reduced.

But there are no hard numbers I have been able to come across on any
of this!

If you can post a link that would be great.

There's nothing that's honestly birth-to-grave (aka all inclusive)
worthy about nuclear derived energy data. Fuzzy book keeping is also
their status quo norm.

It's all pretty much hocus-pocus physics and otherwise at best
need-to-know, and/or fully nondisclosure/taboo.

What I can say is that renewable energy alternatives offer a good 100
fold better energy footprint density than the typical nuclear energy
footprint. I can even back that one up with real hard numbers and facts
of replicated science. (sorry about that)
