Vermont Yankee was 42 years old and leaking radioactive material into the ground water when it was closed in 2014. It will cost $1.24 billion dollars to decommission. The utility only has about 1/2 that amount in their decommissioning trust fund so I expect in a few decades the public will get stuck with the bill.
