Nuclear waste treatment plant cost may top $10 billion

Is there reason for caution when contemplating nuclear power?
Hanford plant cost may top $10 billion:
U.S. Water News Online -- February 2006
"RICHLAND, Wash. -- The cost to build a waste treatment plant at the Hanford nuclear reservation in south-central Washington could top $10 billion, according to a new report.
In addition, the plant wouldn't be ready to begin treating toxic and radioactive waste until 2017, six years after the legal deadline."
