Sellafield, the UK’s largest, most complex and challenging site, accounts for £1.9 billion per year of this cost. The best estimate for clean-up costs for the UK’s earliest nuclear sites over a 100 year plus programme is set out in the Nuclear Provision which together with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s (NDA) anticipated costs and expenditure, budget and lifetime financials per site, is made publicly available via the NDA’s website (<a href="http://www.nda.gov.uk/" target="_blank">www.nda.gov.uk</a>).</p><p>Operators of new nuclear power stations are required by law to make prudent provision for their decommissioning, waste management and waste disposal costs. These costs are taken into account in the cost per MWh of electricity generated by new nuclear power stations.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 17/07/2015 10:32:58 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth attachment 1 file name nuclear-provision-explaining-the-cost-of-Britains-nuclear-clean-up-2015.pdf title Nuclear-provision-explaining-the-costs
