So is this something you are saying about France or something France has said itself. Last time I checked, France was still pretty dedicated to nuclear, unlike Germany....which gets a lot of exported nuclear power from France.

I believe they are very dedicated to nuclear as well. However, the entire point of my comment was that they are having a difficult time constructing nuclear reactors, just like everybody else in the Western world. Without new construction, their existing nuclear fleet (median age >30 years) will eventually need to be decommissioned just due to time.
