"NRC to stake out position on using decommissioning funds for equipment replacement"

"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission planned next week to formally declare its position on a major industry wish-list item: paying for maintenance of nuclear power plants with funds that are supposed to be reserved for tearing the plants down."

Hmmmm, commitment of industry funds set aside for the immense cost of decommissioning #nuclear power plants, as required by law, or give that money back to the industry to pay for them to be able to run the plants for longer than they were designed, and pass on the whole of the decommissioning costs to the taxpayers.

Wonder what they will choose?
