Reuters reporting on the cost blowout related to decommissioning and compensation after the Fukushima nuclear disaster

I thought I saw something about this yesterday ... but this is via Reuters today:

  • Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) said on Friday it has nearly doubled its projections for costs related to the Fukushima nuclear disaster
  • Now to 21.5 trillion yen ($188.40 billion)
  • In 2013, the ministry had calculated the cost at 11 trillion yen

More here (not more yen, more detail ;-)
