Glad to see someone who knows his stuff explain this situation properly. The cost for this is due to the insane fear of low levels of radiation (watch Galen Winsor and the Nuclear Scare Scam), and so they can charge extreme prices for what should be a straight forward operation. The costs of the Chernobyl and Fukushima operations are similarly outrageous, and nobody needed to be evacuated from either location. The 1000 or so people who did not leave Chernobyl have shown no health problems at all. Education is the answer.
