The difference being that in that case, about 1/3 of the power was spent on production, while in the case of the nuclear power plant, less than 1% was. (The uranium enrichment facility produced materials for a lot more than the plant that was powering it.)
- Retric 3y agoYour math seems off. If 75% of 4 nuclear reactors (so 3) was used then they would have needed to be using that uranium for 300+ nuclear reactors for that to represent below 1%. France has never gotten close to those numbers ~300 gigawatts. What seems more believable is if they where making highly enriched uranium for bombs not just reactor grade uranium or the number is larger than 1%.
