| > That’s nonsense, the UK is right in the middle of commissioning 5-10 new nuclear reactors, ... I'm not talking about the reactors that already have been or will be commissioned soon. I'm talking about the situation in 10 years when these reactors are supposed to be finished. Let's see what the situation is like today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_nuclear_power_station... Hinkley B - under construction, way over budget already Oldbury and Wylfa Newydd - shelved Moorside - failed Bradwell B - Chinese venture That leaves Sizewell C, to be completed in 2031. That's just a not a good trend for western companies. > ...if Areva/EDF could demonstrate an ability to build these plants on budget there’s a huge market opportunity. If private companies need to be dragged in with tons of incentives just to get involved, that doesn't sound like a great opportunity at all. |
