I'm considering the "safe demolition and disposal" to cost multiple orders of what it would cost to rebuild the containment ... so yes, at some point the new containment cap need not be as expensive, but by the time we have gotten to that point, the site will probably have consumed a lot more money than just building the same containment over and over again. Some future leader(s) would probably do the calculations and just say "let's build another 100-year-containment so the next generation can deal with the disposal" and pocket the money. It's the "tech debt" discussion embodied in real life.
