Many years ago, there were discussions here in Luxembourg to build a nuclear power plant together with the French in the east of Luxembourg. The "greens" at that time were against it, so it was not being build.
But the french build it then in France just 10km from the border (the biggest at that time with 4 reactors), and it's closer to our capital then your nuclear power plant to yours.

There haven't been any fatal accidents in the Russian/Soviet space program since 1971 as opposed to the US where the last fatal accident happened 20 years ago (Columbia accident).

- redis_mlc 6y ago> Well, look at the Russian space program. Excuse me, but the Russians tried to compete with the US moon program. Their rockets were so unsafe they killed one of their most famous cosmonauts (friend of Gagarin, who told him not to go) and finally gave up. He knew it was a one-way trip, but boarded because patriotism. The problem with communist countries is that the Party and its narrative always comes first, and the "little people" are last.
- osacial 6y agoColumbia had 28 missions - 28 launches and 27 successful landings. There has been no Russian space vessel, that has been launched more than 1 time into space. Even Buran space shuttle had only 1 mission, before it was abandoned. I wouldn't comment on quality of cars, as I do not own any Russian car - and I also do not own any nuclear submarine(yet), but what we know is that Russians can't properly build bunker for their own fuhrer and Nuclear plant is less significant project.
