South Korea had a massive corruption scandal. I guess it takes cheating to deliver?

China is barely building nuclear power. In terms of their grid mix it is backsliding.

Poland haven’t built any so noconfirmed numbers yet?

Since when does Poland have a significant nuclear power generation program?

Does anyone have actual numbers on what France’s nuclear fleet cost? I thought it was somewhat shrouded in mystery due to government and national security subsidies.

The bit they always say quietly is that you need nuclear reactors to provide the material for nuclear weapons.
