Creation groaning (2)

I saw yesterday that a massive contract has now been awarded for the decommissioning of the Sellafield (formerly Windscale) nuclear power plant in the UK, which has not produced any electricity for some time now. The cost of the decommissioning is going to be a staggering number of billions of pounds. This is an iconic moment for us Brits, though the cost implications are iconic for all the wrong reasons.
