A few are having their once in a decade maintenance check
Some are waiting for maintenance which were delayed due to covid
We didn't train enough maintenance workers because everyone was talking about shifting out of nuclear in favor of renewable (we're using American contractors now afaik)
So mostly bad decisions and poor management, it's a political issue more than anything else, it worked fine since the 70s to more or less a decade ago
- gobip 4y agoYou forget to mention a key point: these maintenance workers were on strike and they were also part of the problem.
- Symbiote 4y agoWhy were they on strike? The lack of power suggests it would have been worth a significant bonus for them to work, if it was money they wanted.
- gobip 4y agoAt this point? It doesn't matter why they are on strike. They are always on strike. Since WWII, the train company SNCF has been on strike -every- year. Except during covid because there was no train to be on strike from. Good luck getting a train for christmas, it's canceled. Same thing here. It's a crucial moment? It's very important for the french people? Go on a strike and ruin everything. I live in France and I have no sympathy for these strikes. At least the Yellow Vests were striking on a Saturday. Everybody were pissed, but only on Saturdays!
