I wonder who picks up the £700m decommission bill. The 5 extra years running at lets say 416 MW (10,000 MWhr/day) and 5p/kWHr is £500,000/day. For 60 months less 3 months for two statutory outages etc so 1750 ish days gives £875 million. The operating costs have to come from some where but it looks to me as if the bulk of that 700 million is in the bank already. -- Cheers Dave. |

The Magnox company does, most of the revenue from the electricity is going into that fund. And if it includes dealing with the nuclear waste for however long it takes? Of course its does. Why does it need to be closed down anyway? It would be cheaper to do whatever is necessary to keep it going. It wouldn't. It was burning up the last of the special fuel.

Yes we will have some interesting times ahead, mind I may well have ceased to worry by then. It's not the fuel but more similar to a sort of fatigue effect which becomes inevitable after slowing down sufficient neutrons, it's not possible to renew the core. EDF hope to run them for as long as possible because there's not a cat in hells chance of replacements coming on stream in time. |

In fact the operators should not have to touch anything for half an hour after any sort of incident which causes a trip. http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/nort...h-moment-stop- button-pressed-10669696 |

AJH We shall see. We are still making fuel for them, though. The Magnox fuel plant was closed some time ago. They are getting near end of life. Neutron bombardment makes the steel go brittle and the concrete crumbly. They have done better than they were designed to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_damage Is a good read And in fact radiation damage - potential - is one if the reasons the Finnish reactor is overbudget and behind schedule. The local contractors didnt understand or take regard for the need for very specialised concretes and steels. So they didn't build it correctly and it had to be ripped up and started again, in a limited way. Once we build more reactors more often, that sort of problem becomes a non issue. Also SMRs should help as the concrete and steel is largely factory built there, so QC will be easier. -- Ideas are more powerful than guns.
