> France ("consistently invested in nuclear for the past half-century" ).
Not really and this is currenctly causing a big problem. France stopped building new reactors after 2002. They only built 1 new generation EPR, which was very late and 6x the cost.
Many of the reactors are very old and need to be replaced, but it's difficult to do because of the bad experiences of Flamanville's reactor.
