Not at all. If the thing were publicly owned, then all the profit from the years of operation would go into making sure it can be properly decommissioned, rather than into making the share price of a private company go up, and paying multi-million dollar bonuses to CEOs.
What you mean to say is "Make the public responsible and accountable for something the private sector will try to weasel their way out of."
Which is perfectly acceptable.
So the answer to it potentially being the public's problem is to guarantee that it is the public's problem? That isn't necessarily a bad idea, but it doesn't gel with how the rest of the economy works.
