@Dr. Coal Nugget Truthfully, the wiki article on the plant (all the things after the Fukushima incident’s results) outlines how the economics have modified over time with laws.Initially, it was projected to price $12-18B to get the plant to a situation that it may be relicensed for a long run, and it could’ve been cheaper to exchange it at that price than to repair it and reapply for the permits.I believe logic now remains to be to not spend the cash to have it operational over such a timeframe, however simply sufficient to make use of it for a bit longer to fill gaps whereas different power provide is constructed out (which, i’d hope features a new nuke plant, however i am not holding my breath on that both). I am additionally very pro-nuclear fwiw, and the general public’s worry of radiation and anti-nuclear cries (from ignorance) are certainly irritating
