Nuclear Power: Economics and Climate Protection Potential by Dr Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute. The first link is to a paper (.pdf  26 pages) that contains similar information and conclusions published in the September 2005 Scientific American under the title "More Profit With Less Carbon." Lovins concludes that end-user efficiency and combined cycle cogeneration are 7 times more cost-effective at reducing carbon emissions than building new nuclear power reactors, and considerably more secure.

Mirage and Oasis: Energy Choices in and Age of Global Warming -- the trouble with nuclear power and the potential of renewable energy by Andrew Simms at the New Economics Foundation, London. (.pdf 56 pages fully referenced) This report establishes that nuclear power's CO2 emissions are comparable to using natural gas since it is impossible to use nuclear power without incurring the fossil fuel combustion used to process and transport uranium.
