In France two reactors were put off-line for more than a year due to unexpected cracks in piping after just 25 years of operations. Even in Germany the decision to shutdown the reactors was partly economical. 10 years ago assumption about using cheap Russian gas until renewables catches up was not entering unreasonable.
