Nuclear Energy is like everything else—it requires ongoing maintenance which requires a competence level in large institutions.
If the West continues its decline into Green madness and Wokism and anti-white racism for several decades the nuclear plants will become abandoned and dangerous wastelands.
The North Africans that inherit France will in the future refer to them as "Forbidden Zones" and erect fences of scarecrows to keep people away.

True... but the problem seems to be that nuclear plants were so expensive to build, they didn’t spend the extra money needed to make them more ‘maintenance friendly’. I can think of a major nuclear plant here in North America that also has huge piping corrosion issues... and they are pulling their hair out right now trying to figure out what options they can avail themselves of to correct it. They have been working on the issue for years and so far, still haven’t figured out the best way to do it. Meanwhile, the day is rapidly coming when they will be forced to shut down...

The French have milked their reactors way pbeyond their design life, like we have done.
They need to start replacing them with new ones.
