The French made a decision during the 70's energy crisis to go nuclear and they do quite a nice job with it. For once we could look to the French for advice and technical help. I assume it's still the same but when I was involved with nuclear the French built all their plants from one plan unlike in America where each plant is unique. The French way is quite advantageous in that operators qualified at one plant are qualified at all. More importantly if one plant has a problem and it turns out to be a plant problem they immediately issue the fix order and all plants make the same repair. We've allowed activists and the courts to kill nuclear power something even the original head of Greenpeace now admits was a mistake. Don't see anything changing until we start having brown outs and enough people find that inconvenient enough to drown out the greenies. Brown outs and not producing enough electrical power and crashing the grid is decidedly bad for business and in turn the market.
