. >> good morning, chairman mcfarlnd and commission members. a decommissioning plan was recently submitted for the crystal river nuclear power plant in florida. it's distressing situation all the way around because the utility attempted to repair the plant, they exacerbated problems resulting in cracks in the containment walls. the repair costs soared and so the utility chose to shut it down. it's gotten a lot of attention in florida and especially among rate payers because they are on the rook because of the law in florida that said rate payers pay in advance for constructing the plant and now they're going to be on the hook for those costs and then costs of some of the costs of shutting it down without generating one kilo wath hour of electricity. so this is an important lesson for states around the country to have safe guards if you're going to proceed to have an advanced recovery feed. so the utility has chosen safe storage as the decommissioning option which will they estimate, will cost $1.2 billion and this will proceed now over 60 years
