I would like to see a comparison of nuke/windmill/ solar. TCO over 60 years?

Somebody has looked int to it, or this plant would be another wind farm.

If nothing else, they may have looked across the Channel to see how the French generate their power?

It is a fools errand to chase “low emissions”.

We live in a time of madness.

60 years?

I’ll bet the green looks will make sure it never makes a single kWh.

Meanwhile idiot Germans and Americans are eliminating nuclear. The Texas incident will be the new normal. Greta and AOC are ecstatic.

Did not know the Brits were building nukes.
Well done, boys.

The French are number one in percentage drawn from nuclear power. They are on point with respect to electric generation and food.

"Somebody has looked int to it, or this plant would be another wind farm."

Not sure, but it seems they are talking about a turbine blade that would mostly likely sit inside the nuke facility, not outside.

What does the ‘e’ in ‘3.2 GWe’ stand for?

I always get a laugh out of how many wind-trubines are not moving when I see a wind farm. Those things are clearly maintenance heavy.

“Once completed, it will deliver 3.2 GWe”

For those who don’t want to do the math, that comes out to about 40 to 50 square miles of solar panels (75 million panels), to provide the same average power as the nuke.
