That’s for one plant?

Edit: Oh. 17 of the earliest plants starting from the 50s. This has nothing to do with the construction and maintenance of modern nuclear power infrastructure.

There are 2-3 million abandoned oil and gas wells in the US. nrdc.org/…/millions-leaky-and-abandoned-oil-and-g…

Solar and wind are cheaper, but are variable, and have geographic limitations or high land use (45,000 acres of solar to equal the output of a modern nuclear plant). There is a place for nuclear, along with other carbon-free generation sources.
