I just don’t get this. Why is it so damn hard to do nuclear anywhere when France does it so well? You’d think regulations in china would not be the reason

- epistasis 2y agoFrance is not doing nuclear well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor) > In December 2007, construction of the unit itself began. This was expected to last 54 months, with commissioning planned for 2012 However it is still under construction. Olkiluoto was also a major disaster for France, though it was eventually completed. South Korea is probably the best example for nuclear construction success, but they have had to jail a few people for forging inspection results. All in all, I think China has done fairly well with nuclear. Nuclear is a massive project that is insanely complex. It is not helped by trivializing the complexity, nor is it helped when people focus more on public opposition than the construction challenges, IMHO.
