Once again, Anything even remotely similar to that in free market countries?

A Chernobyl is highly unlikely, but if something only half as disastrous were to happen, it would exceed current liability caps at least ten times over.

These liability caps are in effect, an indirect subsidy that totally distors the “free” market. That is my main problem with nuclear energy.

Sort that out and then I am all in favor of letting it compete with other power sources, but it could well prove cheaper to hire anuclear physicist to run a treadmill in your backyard than to generate energy that has cover the insurance costs of a nuclear facility.
