The cost of decommission alone is 70 times higher, differences in th surrounding geography don't explain this discrepancy. It's worth pointing out that from what I can tell, this money hasn't actually been spent it's a forecast. Furthermore, a competing party held power in Japan at the time of the accident vs. when this projected cost was drawn up. There's a conflict of interest in that exaggerating the damage is politically advantageous. I'm interested in seeing how much money actually gets spent.
- cma 7y agoAnd what are your thoughts on Fukushima being a level 7 vs Three Mile a level 5? Is that just a political distinction?
- manfredo 7y agoYes, it is mostly political. What is the difference between a "major" release of radiation and a "significant" release of radiation? These levels have vague, subjective descriptions.
