The future of the reactor in Galena could face other hurdles as well. City Manager Walt Wilcox said that until the city received a copy of Toshiba’s letter to the NRC in late August, they had not heard anything about the project from Toshiba in about eight months.
In addition, earlier reports stated that Toshiba would install the reactor at no cost to the city, but a statement from the company to the News-Miner seemed to reverse that claim.
“We are aiming to realize the 4S system on a conventional business basis, and we do not have any plans to propose the system free of charge,” it states.
The idea of footing the bill for the multi-million dollar reactor doesn’t sit well with Wilcox.
“This is a small community that doesn’t even have an extra $1,000,” he said.
