Abandonment costs are costs associated with the abandonment of a business venture.

Public Service owns 35.6 percent of Seabrook, and its share of the projected abandonment costs would be about $25 million.

In the Shoreham case, New York State had argued that it was useless to allow low-power testing, contaminating the reactor and adding to abandonment costs, when there were outstanding questions about whether the plant would ever run.

I am thinking of citizens who have huge difficulties in obtaining accurate information, and of the exit penalties - often in the form of high abandonment costs - which confront users wishing to switch from one credit institution to another.
