Which might account for why they are reticent about nuclear.

Oh yeah, blame "nuclear", the science, for a mistake of a socialist regime.

* One one side no regulation, people living in fear of their superiors, money being drawn and sent to compete on the race to the moon and other reasons. * On the other side "nuclear", which is based on science, and had about 6 decades of evolution in safety, regulations, etc. since Chernobyl was first built.

That was exactly what I was referring to when I said the EU is blind to science. And, yes, I read 2 papers and watched many videos, as well as follow the news for about the last 5 years of the safe confinement construction. I still hold the same opinion as my original comment.
