The 43-year-old, 478-megawatt-capacity nuclear plant at Fort Calhoun,
. . . is the smallest such plant in the country, which explains in part,
. . . why it has become financially untenable to continue operating.
December 31, 2016, it will shut down,
. . . the plant's decommissioning will begin,
. . . which could take up to 60 years, and
. . . could cost as much as $1.5 billion.
Is that a lot of "Time & Money,"
. . . for the Smallest Nuclear Plant?
What do you think the rest of them will cost?
