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.
As compared to the $500 million the owners have invested in updating the
other reactor and associated plant.
Correcting the mistakes/design errors made earlier.
Well electricity user will pay one way or another.
Who said nuclear power was cheap?
Its a ****ing site cheaper than your SPIV panels
