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.

Or, to put it another way, GBP 1.63, or about what those in poverty have to pay
to you for three units of your massively subsidised licence to print money
daytime only intermittent non dispatchable electricity
