On February 16, 2011, it was found that in more than half of the emergency diesel generators in units 3 and 4, some individual parts that were replaced two years previously can fail prematurely if the diesel runs for a slightly longer period of time. During a test in another nuclear power plant, these quality defects proved to be the cause of total diesel failure. In the event of a failure of the external power grid and...
New reactors are to produce an output of 24 gigawatts in order to equip the British energy supply against the Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin and to meet the CO2 targets.

This promise cannot be implemented. Why? This announcement completely forgets that a few reactors will be taken offline by 2050. Even in countries like the USA, where the terms of almost the entire fleet have been extended to 60 and in some cases even 80 years. That's not realistic anyway, because no nuclear power plant has run for 60 years. The...

We have over 400 old reactors that are gradually reaching the end of their service life. More are being removed from the network than are being added. There is a reason for this: the costs. The average construction time for a new nuclear power plant is around twelve years. The...
