Sweden just paid 300 million SEK to reboot one reactor (also pressurized water reactor from Westinghouse manufactured in the early 70s and started in 75; 3 years before this one, closed in Dec. last year) because of supply issues in the south of Sweden leading to price volatility and provisioning issues this summer during the heatwave. Peak-oil is a bitch and we're going to run these nuclear plants until the metal in the cores and foundations start to show cracks visible to the naked eye. Because Uranium has 1.000.000x the power content per weight more than gasoline and 1.000.000.000x more than batteries! That said fission costs a lot of dead trees to build, so we're going to have to stick to the plants we already have. Building new nuclear plants will not be possible no matter how much money you print. I predict the french will do the same once the KWh price jumps around a little too much to be ignored. Electric cars are a joke, they take hours to charge and once everyone has them; charging will be impossible! Instead we should focus on Raspberry Pi 4 and electric bikes! Edit: If you look here you'll see that most WH plants put into service ~75 have been closed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_reactors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_reactors The only other interesting tidbit here is that Saudi-Arabia is planning 4 reactors!
