Nuclear power station location - an idea

[MartG]

With today's news that it's expected to cost an extra £5billion to clean up Sellafield, I've come up with an idea about locating future nuclear power stations

First decide where you're going to bury the waste from it, then build the power station underground in that location so when it comes to decommissioning it all you have to do is pour a load of concrete into the hole to seal it up

So it needs to be near water. Check.

Say you had a large building that was in need of multi-billion repairs that was already
government owned thereby cutting the purchase cost for the land.

It's obvious where to build it really...

Low transmission losses too as most of its output would be consumed withing a 30 mile radius

God knows how we will ever sort our balance of payments out if we keep shipping profits out of this country.

Even outsourcing of civil service jobs went primarily to US and French owned companies UK Government has a very poor record of 'Buying British'
