The cost of decommissioning ageing nuclear power sites has risen
"rapidly" in the past few years by £12bn to £73bn ($146b) , according
to an official report.
The National Audit Office (NAO) said costs were rising, even for the
most imminent work. It said the industry faced "significant
challenges".

GreenPower has won its Section 36 consent application to build the
third biggest onshore wind farm in the UK at Griffin Forest in
Perthshire.
Griffin Wind Farm with 68 wind turbines, each with a capacity of up to
3MW will have a maximum peak output of 204MW. Plans were originally
submitted to the Scottish Government in 2004.
Perhaps the UK should adopt the US system of pre-paying for all that.

And if it works like all the rest will produce maybe 60MW.

Grind it up, dump it into the headwaters of the Ganges, then watch how
many wogs are cut down by radiation-sterilized clean water. Stick it
in free food and charitably feed Bangladeshis (arsenic didn't even
slow them down). Add it to menstrual pads and send them to Africa,

Leave the padlock off the back gate and have Pakis steal it.

So...what is your point? That the UK chose a terrible design for their
nuclear energy infrastructure and FORGOT to finance cleanup? What do
you propose...NOT cleaning it up? Is there a point to posting this
here?

UK power from nuclear is in the TW range for measurement. How many
thousand 200 MW wind farms do you want to build? That is assuming you can
keep them at peak output when you want power.
.
What I don't understand is that all this noise on usenet, yet very few
will crunch the numbers that really have to do with our condition.
For instance:

Why is this so beyond usenet?
Now, why is that page suddenly missing? You tell me. I put it up and now
it is gone.
The brain dead rule......
What do you choose???
Gee, are you getting this?

And the Magnox design was at least in part due to a requirement to make
plutonium for nuclear bombs. That's not a requirement for a *commercial*
reactor.

Uncle Al, is there anybody in the world you don't hate or have not
insulted yet.
Please could you provide me with a list, let me start it for you.

2) Uncle AI
3) Uncle Al, and (D)evil, and Nazi's.
You really do love yourself, God Bless you and hope you will end up in
heaven. HAHAHAHAHA
Please don't [snip] me, becuase I will do it myself.

never heard of 'reconditioning'....no papers on it that I've been able
to find.
The expense of cleanup is because of the terrible design the Brits
chose to use for building their nukes, on top of not writing in the
decommissioning costs. The NEW plants cost 1/100th of the current
price tag to do the same thing and are cheaper to build. Let's hope
they replace the current crop of nukes with these new designs.

It doesn't matter at all. Since the problem with nuke idiots
is that they can't understand anything other than GW and TW.
Which is largely why people with positve forms of intelligence
build robots, computers, solar arrays, turbines, sattelites,
lasers, and unleaded gas for the idiots.

And Greenies don't know squat about science or engineering. Thus, when
the Greenies actually have power, as in Germany, they phase out low
CO2 emitting nuclear plants and BUILD FUCKING COAL PLANTS! Talk about
DUMB.

Obviously UK folks are snookered and dumbfounded past the point of no
return.
Perhaps they deserve one another more than we're giving them credit.
What's another $149b here or there?
. - Brad Guth
But it's not another "$149b"...it's about 1/100th of that. THAT is the
point. No one is proposing to repeat the experience of British
Nuclear. No one.
