No no, that's the cost of the nuclear plant disaster cleanup. Current estimate about $200 billion, some estimate it much higher. Consider that there are still 300 square kms of territory designated as "difficult to return". That's the size of a big city- Paris or Milan. The cost of a disaster depends on the area that is rendered uninhabitable- imagine Paris, London or New York being declared off-limits for a century, the cost would be astronomical.
I'm not against nuclear energy in principle, it just seems to be a technology that instead of becoming cheaper becomes more expensive, has enormous costs beyond energy production (decommissioning, waste management) and is subject to extremely rare failures that threaten to evaporate any gain in the previous decades or centuries. I don't even think it's that dangerous for people- victims of Chernobyl and Fukushima have been a tiny number. It just seems economically not worth it.
