funny!
wind, photovoltaic and other sources of the same kind, produce no toxic waste for thousands of years and left as a gift to hundreds of generations via cancers, leukemias and whatnot!

for Zizy, nuclear waste does not pose a problem. Nor the dependence on uranium ores.

On the strength of these two certainties, nuclear power is perfect. : Idea:

however what he says about the limited and intermittent powers of wind turbines is correct.

as much as Poupou announcing that he could use the BA (not the good deed of the scout! : Cheesy: ) But the countries that want nuclear power plants are also the possible users of these bombs[*] in question and their usual apocalyptic blackmail.
[*] no CN no BA! : roll:

Well, no, since at this power they fall stranded. Moreover, until proven otherwise, EPRs only work on paper. : Mrgreen:

In August 2022, three EPRs are operational: two at the Taishan nuclear power plant in China (Taishan 1 and 2, which entered commercial service in 2018 and 2019 respectively) and a third at the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant in Finland, started up in March 2022 and whose commercial commissioning is scheduled for December 2022. Three other EPRs are under construction: one in France at the Flamanville nuclear power plant and two in the United Kingdom at the Hinkley Point nuclear power plant. Eight other EPRs are planned: two at the Sizewell nuclear power plant in the United Kingdom and six at Jaitapur in India.

An improved version is under development: the EPR 2.

indeed, as already mentioned, it was the Chinese who first started an EPR of European design.

a historic snub for the nucleous French ti.

Taishan 1 still had some problems on the fuel rods which were breaking at full power

Since then I think it's been running at partial power.

No no my dear Izy, these plants are restricted (no pun intended) and do not produce the power announced because they cannot do so due to design faults to be urgently reviewed (pointed out by the ASN and the IRSN). You know it very well, we saw it right here. : Mrgreen:

edit by Remundo: observed in China, yes.

The proof is from before yesterday!

It seems a bit laborious (normally an EPR should produce around 1TWh/month, but I've read that a lot of start-up problems would be on the turbine side, excluding EPR technology itself.
