Have you looked when they started construction and what their projected end date was? Yes there are new ones but both of those are perfect examples of the lack of knowledge [1]. I'll quote: > Many of the organisations chosen to work on the different parts of the plant did not have any experience in nuclear, and little understanding of the safety requirements.
