Europe's nuclear power stations need about $25 billion euros of upgrades, maintenance, and safety enhancements.
Seems to me that's a small price to pay for the world's least polluting, most abundant, and most economy-friendly source of energy available with present-day technology.
Europe's nuclear plants need 25-bln-euro upgrade
"EU-sponsored stress tests conducted on 134 reactors point to a myriad of potential safety hazards, notably in Britain, France and Spain, according to a report obtained by AFP. But it does not go as far as recommending the closure of a single plant.
In the report, the European Commission estimates the cost of improving nuclear safety across the continent "in the order of 10-25 billion euros" ($13-$32 billion), and wants all upgrades to be closely monitored and then finalised by 2015."
As I said, just do it, and keep the 21st century on track.
