"I am pleased with the result of the vote on financial support for the decommissioning of the Bohunice V1 plant. The reason for this is as follows: In the 1990s, the Bohunice V1 installation underwent full-scale reconstruction under the watchful eye of an international agency, at a cost of nearly EUR 300 million. The plant is therefore clearly being decommissioned before time, as it is now capable of safely producing electricity at least until 2015. The 1999 decision was political, dictated not by good sense but by biased reasoning. The direct costs will amount to more than EUR 1.3 billion.
Fortunately, the plenary session at least agreed on a contribution of 400 million, but this represents only one-third of the amount needed. Overall costs will be as high as EUR 5 billion, including critical elements such as the safe storage of radioactive waste, substantial losses in electricity generation, and so on.
Nuclear power plants produce around 57% of the electricity in Slovakia. The decommissioning of the V1 plant will result in a shortfall of about seven terawatt-hours of electricity per year. This is the equivalent of unscrewing every second light bulb in the country. I thank everybody for their support."@en1
