Hi Bill, Re: is going to + could use + can use /=/ are using. Back in the '50's we were being told that nuclear power would be so cheap that we would no longer have power meters on our houses. Oops, that did not work out so great. The de-commissioning costs are enormous; and, those are the real costs that seem to go on forever. Just up the road from you is: San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station - Wikipedia Controversy continues over Edison's plans for on-site dry cask storage of the considerable amount of nuclear waste created during the facility's decades of operation. I am sure you know more about the problems/costs with this plant than I do. The problems/costs with on-site storage is a major problem here in the northwest with Hanford: Hanford Site - Wikipedia While I am a ret'd engineer, I will always be an engineer. I can only hope that, in the future, we will be able to make nukes such that they are financially possible; but, that must IMO include all costs. Today, you and I will have to agree to disagree on using nukes as being a good thing. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, And, how much of the waste that we have today, is being used again? Today, throughout the world, we are creating more nuclear waste than is being used for anything else. We cannot continue to do this. Jerry Baumchen
