You got it wrong. It’s $13B that the whole industry will pay for a single reactor accident. Every nuclear power plant operator will have to pay $131M per reactor if there is one accident. Each reactor also has a mandatory insurance of $450M. This is to cover liability only.
Separate from that is a mandatory insurance imposed by the NRC of $1.06B per site to cover cleanup costs
