> #MycleSchneider.. said the nuclear industry has been shrinking for years.. "In the last 20 years, 95 #NuclearPowerPlants have gone online and 98 have been shut down. If you take China out of the equation, the number of nuclear power plants has shrunk by 50 reactors in the last two decades," Schneider added. "The #NuclearIndustry is not thriving."

"Nuclear power plants are about four times as expensive as wind or solar, and take five times as long to build," he said. "When you factor it all in, you're looking at 15-to-20 years of lead time for a new nuclear plant.".. He pointed out that the world needed to get greenhouse gases under control within a decade. "And in the next 10 years, nuclear power won't be able to make a significant contribution,"

.> Heat, water and nuclear power. Thermal power plants need vast amounts of cooling water. It is estimated that in France 51 percent of freshwater takeout or about 10 percent of precipitation is absorbed in thermal power plants, with roughly three-quarters of its electricity generated by nuclear power over the years. No other electricity generating source needs more water than atomic fission energy. David Lochbaum, Director of the Nuclear Safety Project at the Union of the Concerned Scientists (UCS), who has produced a fact sheet on “Nuclear Power and Water” , stated: “We’ll have to solve global warming if we want to keep using nuclear power”. .> The European Pressurized Water Reactor (EPR) under construction at Flamanville on the coast of Normandy will have its own desalination plant to cope with freshwater needs. Four in-land reactor sites along French rivers with no cooling towers—Bugey (2 units), Fessenheim (2 units), St. Alban (2 units), Tricastin (4 units)—take out about 70 percent of all thermal power plant cooling water in the country. The two oldest French reactors at Fessenheim alone take up about 18 percent of all 17 billion cubic meters of France’s annual freshwater takeouts.4 While these sites consume a large portion of the nation’s surface freshwater, they return about 90 percent back to the environment, but significantly heated up..> ... the largest nuclear operator in the world, the French EDF, is losing 100,000 clients per month. In the U.S., many uneconomic reactors are only surviving on the grid with massive direct subsidies on state level. While nuclear generating costs are increasing, costs of competing technologies, in particular solar, wind and natural gas, have been falling dramatically over the past decade. It has turned out impossible to build a new nuclear power plant under market economy conditions and massive govern- ment support is indispensable. But even then, the nuclear industry is suffering from excessively long lead times compared to its competitors. So the renewal rate of the fleet is below the minimum necessary for survival. Nuclear power is turning into an endangered species that, in addition, is increasingly threatened by an invasive species, cheap and abundant renewables - https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-658-25987-7_3.pdf
