Decommissioning of US nucular plants = $23+ billion
Yucca Mountain = $65+ billion and the DOE has no fucking clue how much it will *really* cost or begin operation.
Nuclear plant operator lawsuits against the DOE (taxpayers) for not taking care of *their* spent fuel that *they* used to make money = $56+ billion.
Disposing of depleted UF6 at US uranium enrichment plants = $4+ billion
Decommissioning NFS defunct commercial spent fuel reprocessing plant at West Valley NY = $8+ billion
Three Mile Island accident (only) $1+ billion
total = $157+ billion and counting...
add in the $112 billion in stranded costs from canceled US nucular power plants and it adds up to....
>$269 billion.
reeee-volting...
