Excelon is a company buying up expired nuke plants. Some of these plants are 30 years beyond their planned lifetimes and still open.
How expensive is it to do this? It costs 34 million dollars a year per expired plant. The company then over charges its customers to keep highly dangerous old plants on line.
What is so dangerous? The steel in the containment vessel is 50 years old but the integrity of that steel is 3oo years old due to a process called embrittlement due to high energy neutrons decaying the steel. The devil is in the details but if you only see costs remember 4 old plants will cost a billion in ten years

You may not care in the UK so look to your south. Those reactors are far more dangerous since they use a special mixture of fuel that uses PU. France has a nuclear public relations group second to none.
Have you ever looked at all their nuke plants?? Do you think terrorists don't know. Look foo yourself

btw the UK has now been approved for FRACKING. Say hello to your local earthquake problems in a town near you.


The forever problem. There is still no depository in the world for nuclear waste storage so it is all on site or as they did in NY next to playgrounds.
