It can take up to 10 years to build a new nuclear power plant, from initial planning to completion. Factors such as regulatory approvals, site selection, and construction can all affect the timeline.
The time it takes to develop a nuclear power plant can vary greatly depending on factors such as the type of reactor being built, regulatory hurdles, and site-specific challenges. On average, it can take anywhere from 5 to 10 years for construction and regulatory approval before a new nuclear power plant becomes operational.
Decommissioning is handled by the NDA (Nuclear Decommissioning Authority), website http://www.nda.gov.uk/. The financial report for 2006/7 and 2007/8 is available from the website. It is naturally a very long report with lots of pretty pictures, but pages 28/29 will probably be of most interest. It says that for 2007/8 £1,646 million was received from the taxpayer, with commercial income of £1,458 million. Nuclear liabilities are listed at £44,095 million and growing compared to the previous year, so there is a long way to go. I will add something for development - this has recently changed
The Enercon E-126 is capable of delivering 7MW. A modern nuclear plant is capable of delivering 1500 MW. Divide, and you get 214. Sounds reasonable, until you factor in availability... hmmm... And you need to consider that "modern" is actually a twenty year old design, and that today we can actually do a lot better than that.
It is safely disposing of the bits of a burned out power station. (As nuclear fission gives off neutrons, anything near a nuclear fission reaction itself becomes radioactive over time, so it is a big job to take down a power station safely)
It was a health hazard immediately
Russia, the nuclear plant was in the place called chernobyl :)

The worst nuclear accident occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukraine (under the management of authorities in Moscow).

1 plant takes 30million dollares
We still not a nuclear country
It depends where. In the U.S., it takes several years, mostly because of all the environmental studies and impact statements, permits and other government paperwork. Also, in the U.S., each one has some level of custom engineering. Also, unions slow down the work considerably. (I would not have made that last statement before I worked with some engineers who had been involved in building a nuclear power plant. They told me that the plumbing, for example, took between 2 - 3 times as long as it would have with non-union plumbers, and there is A LOT of plumbing in a nuclear power plant.)A conventional plant without any site-specific engineering or red tape could be built in less than a year.

I think they are still testing
