Both where insured the launch and the Sat.
The cost of both was about 280,000,000 Euro
Now they just need to build a new Satellite which will take about 3 years.
The Satellite will be brought down to Earth in a controlled way. So they may choose where it will fall down. Anyway most will burn...
Imagine burning 280 millions of $...

No Nuclear reactor on that one !
It uses batteries and huge solar pannels (36m).
The fuel is highly toxic but will burn completely.
