France used to build like 2 or 3 reactors at the same time which helps with managing risks like these. If they were instead building some known/built before reactor at the same time the risk would not be so great. As with solar or wind

In Finland they got that situation somewhat covered. The same companies that own most of the nuclear power plants (Olkiluoto) are also some of the largest consumers (UPM and Stora Enso. Two very large paper companies). They also own a lot o

That is why I took issue in you saying "northern europe". Solar might work in Germany but that does not help me living in Finland (more like actively hurt by taking government subsidies)

In France the nuclear is state owned (EDF owns all nuclear plants and the government owns 85% of it) and how it is actually priced is just weird/can not really be compared directly. For actual costs what you should look at are actual c

Its the same thing in all CPR manuals. First check for pulse/breathing before doing anything else. Actually you should start by trying to wake them by yelling or shaking them around a bit. This is very common in lots of emergency proce

There is no way storing the spent fuel would cost so much that it would generate 38c/kWh of costs. For example the total lifetime costs of Onkalo (Finlands spent nuclear fuel storage site) is estimated to be 3.5 billion. Lets take the
