AP news today Washington: "Even if no new reactors are built, getting rid of the country's nuclear waste will cost $96.2 billion and require a major expansion of the planned Nevada waste dump beyond limits imposed by Congress, the Energy Department said Tuesday.
The $96.2 billion — in 2007 dollars not accounting for future inflation — includes $13.5 billion already spent on the Yucca project, $54.8 billion for construction and operation over 150 years and closing costs anticipated in 2113. It assumes the site will begin accepting used reactor fuel in 2020 and continue accepting shipments for 50 years."
Have Indian nuclear advocates accounted for this huge cost of handling waste?

Hope our men will see this news. It is high time to stop all our further processes.Here they say the disposal is for 150 years. But as per the standards it should be kept safe for ten thousand years. Google "Group up for £17bn Sellafield job"
