Mr. Dittmar belongs to the few people that tell us the truth about the greatest crisis mankind will have ever had: the energy crisis.</p> Mr. Dittmar’s presentation is more than excellent because it is sincere and corageous in a media world that disinform us all even with the complicity of some scientists.

Currently, there is also one commercial 600 MW reactor being dismantled that was shut off in 1994, and cost estimates for this are around 700 million Euro. I'd say you can assume that the each standard 1000 MW reactor will easily cost over 1 billion Euro to make it somehow disappear - costs for the nuclear waste dump not included.</p> Some research reactors have been dismantled or are being dismantled in Germany, with the costs of doing so reaching up to 500 million Euro.

Reproceds the fuel like the French, Japanese, British, and Russians and most of the “waste” probl;em goews away.

You are thinking in the 70′s get up tgo date information from ANS or the French or Japanese. Look up the Iris project.

And where to place the radioactive fill that will have had to be scraped up? Shudders!</p> I read recently that no nuclear reactor has ever been retired and dismantled, and that the costs of doing so are likely to be horrendously expensive.
