Dear Sir or Madam,
A list of 537 sites deemed suitable for storing nuclear waste for
up to 100,000 years has been released.
What is the total cost, including inflation, of storing this
nuclear waste for this amount of time?
Also please document and account for how this cost is calculated
and included in the price of electricity coming from nuclear power.
Yours faithfully,
Rene Jorgensen

Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s 2007/08 Annual Report & Accounts said: ‘After three years of work we have now been able to produce an underpinned baseline for the cost of the decommissioning and clean-up programme. The discounted nuclear liability is now estimated at £40.7 billion, with a further £3.4 billion for the construction and lifetime costs of a deep geological disposal facility. The discounted total of the nuclear liabilities estimate has increased therefore to £44.1 billion (from £37 billion last year). The undiscounted costs for the 130-year programme of decommissioning and clean-up are £63.5 billion, and the NDA’s share of the undiscounted cost for construction and operation of the geological disposal facility is £10.1 billion. (A fuller explanation of the baseline estimate is provided in an appendix to this statement.)’
