In Ohio this costs an average residential electricity customer $95/year they have to pay extra on top of their electrical bill.
Nuclear should be ran until EOL, then ideally built back up again
Arguably it has in Ohio. In 2002 a football sized hole was discovered in the top of pressure vessel eaten away by the caustic cooling water:
They bought a replacement from a mothballed nuke plant.
The plant was supposed to be EOL in 2017, but was extended to 2037.
At the same time Republican lawmakers in Ohio gave oil and gas companies full control over where wells are place, but put rules in allowing the blocking of solar and wind installations. source

nice.

this was pretty common with 30 year EOL plants, being extended to 50 years, with extra maintenance. France has done this almost unilaterally, and skill issued pretty hard with maintenance as of recent, but that’s just a skill issue.
i’d be ok with paying those costs for nuclear. Not for coal.
Nuclear should be ran until EOL, then ideally built back up again (but that’s not happening unfortunately)
