With that in mind I honestly don't believe the "few hundred million $".
- PhantomGremlin 11y agoI wonder where all the money will go? See my previous comment about a decommissioned plant, elsewhere in this topic. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10457453 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10457453 The reactor vessel is long gone. What remains on site is spent fuel, but there's nowhere to move that to. Cost was perhaps $0.23 billion but that's an approximate figure. Still, nowhere near the $3.5 billion per plant that German utilities have set aside.
