> Well yes, Germany maintained the reactors they had until they reached the end of their useful lifetime
Except that is simply a lie that anti-nuclear people spread.
Nuclear plants can reach 80 or 100 years and we honestly don't even know the max lifespan. Almost the German plants could have continued to run. 30 year is nothing for a nuclear plant.
Yes, it requires maintenance and partial replacement of subsystems, but that's just the reality. We are talking about replacing fucking coal, I just don't understand why people don't care about that.
