Look at the UK, we built the first full-scale commercial nuclear power plant, now we have to rely on the French or Chinese who can charge whatever they like and impose any delays they want. www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/…/ar-BB1iY68W
But hey, the conservatives made a few people very rich in The 80s!

You know that was just a cover for making bombs, right? You have to look up the Windscale fire some time. It’s a hilarious story. There are some great documentaries on youtube. It might help you appreciate having French or Chinese in charge, too.
I didn’t know about the Windscale fire or cover up. Although the production of plutonium is mentioned in the Wikipedia article I linked.
The primary purpose of both plants was to produce weapons-grade plutonium for the UK’s nuclear weapons programme, but they also generated electrical power for the National Grid.
I don’t feel any safer with the French doing it as they have also had accidents. (Understandable with new technology) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France
As for the China, would we even know if they’d had accidents …
would we even know if they’d had accidents
Actually yes, because radioactive leaks are very detectable.
I was just teasing, of course. IDK if the other players were luckier or saner. The Windscale piles were definitely quite insane, though.
