@swoop doesn't change the fact that it's faster, easier and cheaper to install the same electrical power × availability in #renewables than #nuclear, whiich - if the government wasn't gonna hold the bag re: #NuclearWaste - would never be profitable.to begin with.

Seriously NPPs at modest 1000MWe cost billions, and the costs don't scale down either, cuz a lot of these are fixed and/or not scaling linear...

That's my pet-peeve with it! I'm not even gonna look at "safety"…

@corbden Nothing like government efficiency!

I'm still surprised they got the Low Activity Waste facility started.

We'll just ignore that the High Level Waste Facility isn't anywhere near starting...

And unless the Cross-Site Transfer Line is reactivated (or a new one built), only nuclear waste from 200 East area can be processed. The transfer line is needed to get the waste from 200 West the 5 to 6 miles to the Vit Plant.

A company called #HOLTEC wants to dump #NuclearWaste into a river that tens of millions live near, and that goes through #NewYorkCity, so of course U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas just decided that the law telling them to put the waste somewhere else doesn't exist anymore.
