> And also including dismantling and spent fuel/ contaminated material storage and disposal for unknown time to come. Also not only environmental, but social cost of creating a spent fuel site that does have to be cared for hundreds of years while bringing no benefit at all, with huge costs. Indeed. Decommissioning a nuclear power station is a serious task. But the waste fuel can just be buried somewhere where humans aren't. It's really not a problem. If people are too stupid to read 'stay away' signs, there's not much hope for us. After all, people manage not to fall off cliffs every day that have signs saying 'warning cliff'. It's not difficult. Given the return of animals to Chernobyl and Fukushima, is that really such a high price to pay? Animals are largely unaffected, and we're the ones messing up the planet.
