Great, so when they abandon the nuclear project in 18mths who will maintain them?

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They are planning to buy or maybe just electricity from a new reactor type, which has never been built, starting 2030, when conventional nuclear power plants, with known technology take twice as long to built.

So if they stop the project in 18months, it has just been a waste of money.
