Am I using too much uranium?

[Bota]

Looking at my revenue, I'm using 4.8 tons of uranium per turn and 56.7 tons per day.  Reading the description for nuclear power that's the consumption for 48,000 infra. 

Quote

They use 1.2 tons a day (0.1/turn) of uranium per 1,000 infrastructure and can power up to 2,000 infrastructure. Operational costs are $10,500 a day ($875/turn).

At this time I have 38,938.96 infra and am only using nuclear power.  By the description I should only be using 3.89/turn and 46.7/day.

You pay for the thousand even if you are .01 over the thousand mark. 3x1.2x16. Math checks out

Your uranium usage should be over 250 a day. Do you even nuke bro?

Maybe you have too many plants. I use more because I keep 2 plants in case of war. That way if one is bombed I still have another spare one.

That has nothing to do with it. You could have twelve and only pay for what you need to the nearest thousand round up

Yes, usage rounds up.

Nuclear Power plants need some minimum amount of uranium to produce anything. That minimum is 0.1 per turn. 0.1 per turn powers up to 1,000 infrastructure. So even if you have 0.01 infrastructure, to have power with a Nuclear Power plant, you will use at least 0.1 per turn.

Similarly, if you had 1000 you would still use 0.1 / turn, but at [1000.01-2000], you would use 0.2 / turn.
