Upgrading would have cost way more. one of the reasons atom power is so expensive (without government subsidies) is the cost of the plants which needs to be recouped as well as the price of the uranium. not to mention that we haven't found a suitable place to store the waste for those thousands of years until it's harmless.

Who cares about cost. We should be willing to pay whatever it takes to end fossil fuel use.

That's why we invest in renewables.
