Finland is unable to complete their new reactor. It's not feasible to build new ones at all - too expensive and even if started right away their completion takes 10+ years and is not the solution to the massive climate issues we face today.
Building new reactors in the 90s? I would have agreed with this but it's too late now from multiple perspectives.
- owlmirror 6y agoWhy should it be too late now? Because Finland botched a single plant? Even though it is preferable that we had more nuclear now I really can't see how you can say that nuclear is not a step in solving the climate problem
- fuoqi 6y agoTell it to Rosatom, which builts its VVERs in under 10 years from greenfield to full industrial operation. The problem with Olkiluoto is not about nuclear power per se, but about organizations, loss of competence and about implementing new designs of nuclear plants in "agile" style.
