Hmmm...France’s has 56 reactors, half of which are about 40 years old...or older.
The words " creaking" and " leaking" come to mind. A year or two ago about half them were shut down for months for essential inspections & repairs...and when it comes to decommissioning which won't be that far down the line for the crumbling oldies, if done properly it has the capacity to swallow a lot of money for no return whatsoever. I remember reading a report years ago which projected that nuclear decommissioning costs would be so serious that they had the capacity to impoverish France...
-That of course would suggest it won't be done properly at all.
