Report: EU lacks funds for decommissioning, used fuel disposal
The
European Commission has found that it would cost $288.3 billion to
decommission nuclear plants and manage used nuclear fuel, which is more
than the $136.7 billion available. Only the UK has the funds to pay its
share. "Together, we should be able to identify ways to cooperate across
Europe to ensure that knowledge about the safest use of nuclear power
plants is shared, rather than done separately by each regulator, and
that the management of radioactive waste is secured financially by
member states until its final disposal," said EU Climate Action and
Energy Commissioner Miguel Arias Canete.http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/apr/04/europe-faces-253bn-nuclear-waste-bill
