28. $1.18 Billion to safely decommission a plant

Sat Dec 14, 2013, 01:14 AM

Dec 2013

We have 100 of them in the US which will all be needing decommissioning real soon. The sooner the better. That bill will be at least (for the 100) $118 billion dollars in the next 60 years. And that is if it all goes well.

But Fukushima, which did not go well, will cost maybe a Trillion. And that does not include the cleanup of spread pollution.

Nukes are not and never were cheap. Nukes are producers of the deadliest pollution known to man. And they knew that before the first one was built!!

(The $1.18 bill is for a Fla plant just closed. See the E&E forum for details. )
