There hasn't been any fuel in TMI-2 reactor for over 20 years. All
that is left now is some radioactive concrete, which will be

Oh? I wasn't aware they had de-fuelled it. Or that it was due to be closed.

MM. you may be wrong there. 20 year extension on 3MI. Due to shut in
2029. Been producing electricity for years and set to continue.
But you are right its been cleaned up. *Its just a very mildly
radioactive shell now. No pint in pulling it down until teh whole site
closes in 17 years. By which time it wont even need special treatment.

Cleaned up at a cost of $2. 5 dollars and rising.

Golly, Id have put it at at least a tenner in old money.

The radioactive wreckage removed has still not been dealt with and is
in storage.
No-one knows what to do with it. Hundreds of tons.
Continuing costs for possibly hundreds of years.

Actually harry, people know exactly what to do with it. Storage is
currently exactly what to do with it.

Yeah Right.
A continuing cost fro centuries to come.
Like Victorian coal mine owners. Leave the **** for someone else to
sort out and walk off with the profits.
