随着核能成本以及淘汰过时核电站的成本不断上升,英国核工业的危机也在日益的加深。在赛兹维尔建造的英国第一台压水堆的发电成本现在估计为每度8到10便士,而燃煤电厂的发电成本却只有每度3便士。关闭一个核电站所需的估计成本也大大增加——从30亿英镑上升到150英镑。据估计,单单淘汰马格罗克斯核电站的八个反应堆,便需付出66亿英镑的费用。 With the rising cost of nuclear energy and the ever-increasing cost of obsolete nuclear power plants, the crisis in the British nuclear industry is also increasing. The cost of power generation for the UK’s first pressurized water reactor, built in Sethville, is now estimated at 8 to 10 pence per degree, while the cost of generating electricity from coal-fired power plants is only 3 pence per degree. The estimated cost of shutting down a nuclear power plant has also greatly increased - from 3 billion pounds to 150 pounds. It is estimated that the cost of 6.6 billion pounds will be charged for the elimination of the eight reactors in the Magloques.
