The "energy footprint" and annual CO₂ emission of building,power plants,and other infrastructure are normally estimated only for the lifetime of operation,and do not include the cost of building and later removing (or recycling) the building,power plant,and so on.If the cost to construct and remove/recycle such facilities were also included in estimating the "energy footprint" and annual CO₂ emissions of a proposed nuclear power,which of these factors would NOT change the resulting calculation?
A) mining, refining, and transporting uranium ore to the plant each time the core 'bundle' needed change-out
B) emissions and energy consumption of the plant during the period of its operation
C) the cost to deconstruct, haul away, or decontaminate and recycle the materials of the power station after it had been shutdown
