The escalating costs associated with decommissioning and cleaning up nuclear power plants are casting a shadow over the future of nuclear energy expansion.

The financial burden of nuclear waste disposal and plant dismantling is a major obstacle to new nuclear projects and could hinder efforts to transition to cleaner energy sources.
