France did invest into a new nuclear powerplant, and the result isn't enticing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamanville_Nuclear_Power_Plan... | ||||||||

That wasn‘t what was mentioned, it was specifically mentioned they should use more nuclear to heat, I.e. use exceeds heat for district heating for example. This is fairly common for coal and gas power plants, but as far as I know, not really used with nuclear power plants. As far as I know, the French nuclear power plants aren’t exactly in close proximity to any major city, making district heating most likely not economically viable | ||||||||

That happens when you only build a SINGLE reactor unit after decades of building nothing. Keep improving the design (EPR2) and keep building and the costs and build times will come down. | ||||||||
