Original sentence: However, as the European Pressurized Reactor has an output of 1,600MW, significantly higher than any existing UK nuclear power plant, only 7 new stations (at a cost of up to £34bn) would be required to provide the same total energy output.ON, estimates that the cost could be as high as €6bn (£4.8bn) per plant, which is 70% higher than the Government's £2.8bn estimate.The article incorrectly suggests that the cost of replacing Britain's ten nuclear power stations could therefore reach £48bn, excluding the cost of decommissioning ageing reactors or dealing with nuclear waste, based on the false assumption that 10 new stations will be required to replace 10 existing ones
Edited sentence: ON, estimates that the cost could be as high as €6 billion (£4.8 billion) per plant, which is nearly double the Government's £2.8 billion estimate.The cost of replacing Britain's ten nuclear power stations could therefore reach £48 billion, excluding the cost of decommissioning ageing reactors or dealing with nuclear waste
