It seems to me that the closure of nuclear power plants is based primarily
on economics. It is possible that waste disposal costs and waste storage
costs are a factor, but probably not the main one.

I do not think that there are any new nuclear power plants planned in the
U.S., and any power company that would propose one would suffer a
significant drop is stock valuation.
