Yep. l've read plenty of articles on extending the life of nuclear plants.

The costs associated are horrendous. The only thing that makes them somewhat viable is that the cost of building a new nuclear power station is even more horrendous .

You will also note that rather than build a new power station that has a 40-60 year life they are choosing to extend the life of the old station by about 10 years because that's how long they will need it for . They don't want a new nuclear plant with a life of 40-60 years . lnstead they are putting that money into renewables for the long term.


" As for cost, it is what it is. The Govt picks up tabs for a whole lot of things. "

So you want the government aka the taxpayer to subsidise nuclear ?

China ? The world's largest investor in renewables ?
