- llsf 3y agoFrance had to stop some reactors after detecting defected pipes. This was not due to age, but manufacturing issue. Plants are constantly being monitored and pieces are replaced. After 50 years, very few pieces are original. That is why US and France keep pushing the retirement age of their plants as they function fine.
- tremon 3y agoThat's mainly in Belgium. Most of France's reactors are from the 1980s, so they are nearing end-of-life but are not past their designed lifetime.
