Direct subsidies: Nuclear R&D

Indirect Subsidies: PRICE- ANDERSON ACT $200 million insurance for each plant >$200 million: 103 nuclear reactor operators in America must pay up to $88 million per reactor = $9.3 billion total per accident 1982 Sandia National Lab study estimated damages up to $560 billion in 2000 dollars. Chernobyl cost the nations of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus $358 billion. Does not include costs to other nations from fallout. $9.3 billion < 2% of the $560 billion in potential costs
