The eye-popping UK nuclear liability! The "Nuclear Provision", ie the future cost estimated to clean up all of UK #nuclear plants stands now at a staggering 237bnGBP... or 10% of the country's GDP. Prices exploded due to higher interest rates. In order to get that number, you need to dig deep into the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority Annual Report and Accounts 2021/22 - page 138/252 assets.publishing.service.go… I imagine that it is not any better in other countries. @AssaadRazzouk @dorfman_p
