France has the highest percent of electricity generated from nuclear power in the world.
(at least they did when I wrote a paper on it)

They have been shutting them down like Germany has. Their oldest one was shut down in 2020.

France has a number of nuclear plants down due to a design flaw they found in their standardized reactor fleet. That’s the double edged sword it makes it cheaper and faster to build out a fleet of you standardize the design and cookie cutter them. However if you find a flaw such as cracking coolant pumps mounts or pipes. Then you have to shut down every reactor of that design and check them out for the flaw. This is why last I heard 17 reactors were down or will be down for a check out and repair. It’s a temporary issue for.France’s PWR fleet...costly but temporary.
