Seems kind of crazy. What are the terms of this agreement? What kind of stability is required to make the agreement executable?

- varjag 3y agoLet's see. First German nuclear power plant has been commissioned in 1961 (laid in 1958). That's 16 years after Germany was carpet bombed and was in the year of Berlin crisis.
- H8crilA 3y agoThat's not a similar situation at all. Germany was very safe to build soon after the war, but was an occupied country that had to first prove good intentions. Remember the famous quote about NATO's purpose: "to keep Russians out, Americans in and Germans down". The last part was dropped some time later.
- varjag 3y agoWell Ukraine didn't start a Word War and already operates NPPs, so.
- UberFly 3y agoWell, probably a post-war, stable Ukraine. Fingers crossed anyway. Westinghouse is hoping to have these available by 2027.
- H8crilA 3y agoNot crazy at all. Western Ukraine is already being rebuilt, it's safer there than in, IDK, Argentina where you can get robbed very easily. For example the bridges around Kyiv that were blown up during the failed assault on the capital are almost completely restored. "If you want to make money you need to go to scary places"
- fauxpause_ 3y agoKyiv is still being bombed though. With shitty poorly aimed missiles and drones, sure, but still. Is that ok for a nuclear reactor?
- fauxpause_ 3y agoEdit: Kyiv appears to have shot down a hypersonic missile yesterday. Very cool. But still, seems like a bad place for a nuclear reactor.
