And in related news:

"The French and Chinese companies that are to build the £18bn Hinkley
Point C nuclear power station will have to pay up to £7.2bn to dismantle
and clean it up"


AND is utter ********, because decommissioning costs are reckoned to be
at most 15% of construction.

Under the current regime.

Of course if the Gazprom funded Labia party gets in, the regulations
will ensure than anyone who even smiles going past a nuclear power
station will have the assets seized and their chidren's children sold
into slavery to pay for it.

It's the Labour Way.

Noboby knows how much a reactor costs to decommission.
It's never been done.
They take them apart and leave most to fester and store the rest away.
But not permanently dealt with.
No-one knows how.
