Anti-nuclear activist: shutting down the plant is a victory for the anti-nuclear cause, which shows that the nuclear industry is too late to admit the fact that they cannot operate the plant safely. Manager of the nuclear power plant: it doesn't show that. We can get straight electricity from non-nuclear resources, coupled with mandatory safety checks and maintenance, making it uneconomical to continue to operate the plant. 
the closure of the nuclear power plant is not out of safety considerations, but out of economic considerations.
It regards the increase in costs resulting from the adoption of safe precautions as a purely economic factor.
