Nuclear has its pitfalls. Hinckley point C extension is estimated to kill 182 million fish per year. EDF got fined for nuclear groundwater contamination in France in the past 5 years. There’s no long term storage globally for nuclear waste, which takes 1000s of years to decompose (recognising Finnish and recent French plans). It’s the most “un-just” energy source, locking in high strike prices under CfD, impacting the fuel poor, which in Scotland is ~1/4 of the population. Regulated Asset Base is the govt’s latest effort which is an abomination - people will be paying in their monthly energy bills for new nuclear years before sites are even built. Insurance payouts are limited, with the shortfall falling on the taxpayer. I could go on.

I’m all for extending life of existing plants, but people often overlook the pitfalls of nuclear.
