A Manifesto for 2024

[Marco]

Marco you've contradicted yourself.

Er no, this is what I said: £6 billion per SMR to build, with at least the inflationary equivalent of this figure to de-commission

The real cost to build will be £6 billion per SMR and then, if we're talking about the whole life cost, there is the de-commissioning cost which with nuclear power has historically been higher than the build cost.

and when it comes to decommissioning, do you know how many UK Offshore wind farms have been decommissioned yet?

There is the possibility of re-using the cabling, foundations and towers with wind turbines. But even if little of these can be re-used, there aren't millions of tons of radioactive material to safely dispose of for a million years.
