Something to think about......
If the companys that ran these radioactive time bombs cant afford to decommision them, who pays ?
Are they not "to dangerous to fail", thats right the taxpayer will be left with the resulting bill from the "bailout" that will be required.

And of course the older they get the greater the risk of CLG, ie multiple failures all at once

Ie "regulations" dont cover this aspect

No wait that CANT have happened since regulation and backups would have prevented it.
But of course it did happen...........

Natural gas a better solution ?....... Ya think ?
