Well, this could be a growing problem... #nuclear #reactors around the #world are getting quite old, with the #us #reactors having an average age of 41.6 years: https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/us-nucl.. During an #energy #crisis and #economic #recession , one could see there being an attempt to keep the #nuclear #reactors going far beyond their #safe #limit .
Finally, #germany is now considering keeping their last three remaining #nuclear #reactors #active https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/.. It still doesn't help their #situation and #dependence on #russia - but it's a start.
Looks like #france are now building #nuclear #reactors , at a time when #germany shuts theirs down: https://www.politico.eu/article/france-t.. So #germans will end up #buying their #excess #electric #energy #demands from the #french - and somehow they sleep better at night as a result of their #eu neighbours dealing with the #issue of #nuclear #waste .
