In Germany, the search for an underground facility is ongoing. They hope to find a facility somewhere in 2046 [0] In 2024, the cost for storing nuclear waste just up until 2100 was estimated to be 170 Bln. [1] This cost is always, without exception, excluded in the calculation of the cost of generating a MWh. It's externalized, paid for by the next generations of taxpayers. Gösgen's open data, just like all the other data, does not include waste management cost. Gösgen is a perfect example for how brittle and outdated the technology is. The nuclear plant is off the grid since May 2025 and will remain down until at least February 2026 [2] Just like the newly-built Flamanville 3 (12 years late, 10+Bln over budget), it's off the grid until further notice. [3] The world is phasing out nuclear.

1- no, it's not ongoing but stalled. Last year almost a billion was spent for searching. Can you pinpoint where the money went? 2- It's covered by kenfo, auto reinvested fund paid by operators. It has about 24bn. In comparison Onkalo in Finland did cost 1bn to build. A similar repository is built in Sweden in Fosmark 3- Goesgen data does include the tax for both waste handling and decommissioning, didn't you read the data? 4- you don't seem to understand why Goesgen is offline. It's not about being brittle. They installed new equipment that performed too good and they need to upgrade other connected components 5- Flamanville did cost merely ~a single year of German EEG subsidies for renewables 6- 2024 was record TWh from nuclear, for like, ever. It'll grow more, mostly due to Asia unless Hitachi/Whous/EDF will do something
