Heading: The Court of Federal Claims Was Required to Award the Costs of Dairyland's PFS Investment Only to the Extent Those Costs Were Taken for Mitigation

Text: Finally, we turn to the government's contention that the trial court erred in awarding Dairyland the entire cost of its investment in PFS, including both money contributed via GFT into PFS, expenses incurred on GFT's behalf for PFS, and (as already discussed) various overhead and G & A expenses. The government does not contend that it was unreasonable or unforeseeable that Dairyland would seek interim off-site storage for its SNF. Nor does it argue that Dairyland was not entitled to collaborate with other nuclear utilities to aggregate the costs of such storage. The problem with the trial court awarding Dairyland the full cost of its participation in PFS, according to the government, concerns the size and the specific manner of that participation. The government presents two arguments.
