I don't understand their comment that they would have allowed the plant just about as much time to wind down as they asked for.<br /><br />Technically, the plant can stop any time, and never operate again. How much this costs with operators remaining etc. is a reason to do it in an orderly way.<br /><br />As I read between the lines, Entergy bought their way out, and got the biggest dollar item: decommissioning only when there is enough money in the Fund. Also, waiting until the plant is officially in decommissioning means to me that moving fuel to Dry Casks will come out of the Decommissioning Fund.Howard Shaffernoreply@blogger.com
