Since when does free insurance stretch the definition of subsidy?
Clean up costs in Fukushima will total about $1 trillion.
Probability of a core melt accident in 1 year or reactor operation is apparently 1 in 3704.
Insuring for that much with zero profit margin would be $269 million per year per plant.
That's about 1.5x-2x the cost of operating a nuclear plant.
It's a lot of money to handwave away.
