Why do they choose a country, that has no experience in building modern reactors? The newest reactor in the USA started 2016 but construction begin was 1973. This country is experimenting on a different continent. And when something goes wrong? Not even their problem

Yeah no experience if you forget their entire submarine and carrier force is nuclear powered.

France already building shit ton of EPRs, US most likely came with the best incentives (price discounts) its basically the US updating their reactor technology with polanda ans EU money

France was massively over budget and behind schedule on the last reactor they were contracted to build for a foreign nation.

What’s funny is while the peasant part would be a stupid bigoted label your comment isn’t even that far off cause France can’t seem to pull that type of infrastructure development off to save their lives

That's not true, we have a new reactor coming online in GA, at Plant Vogtle. Reactor building began in 2009 and is slated to open in 23.

Hey, that's not fair. USA started construction on 3 different reactors within the last 20 years, VC Summer and Vogtle 3+4, and absolutely nothing went wrong during construction.

not their problem? where is the legal document you are citing that clears them of all responsibility of anything? Where are the proposals for the project that show new experimental designs that lack scientific basis?

Or did you perhaps make that up and base it on literal propaganda you read
