France’s nuclear fleet has already seen a record number of heat-related outages this summer. Low river Danube waters forced Romania to shut both its nuclear reactors. Hungary is next.

Isn’t it time they switch to wind and solar already?

It would appear that UK government can dictate to Scotland that nuclear power generation can be forced upon us.
Correct?

Nuclear power plant still runs with 50°+ outside, draught and most other things, the output water will carry more heat than currently allow as safe for ecosystems

Some part break because they are not design to those outside temperatures on the long run and changed faster than current plan (as most engineering part) but it can be create stronger for year to come

Maybe you haven’t thought it through yet but extreme weather is going to cause problems for *every* kind of electricity generation including the ones you like.

They constantly work against it.

Since then, it is clear that nuclear power is a dead end.

Any highly complex system carries risks of course.
They are, however, well understood and any modern fascility has more than enough redundancies to be considered safe.

We can argue about nuclear waste, efficiency and better alternatives but calling a well understood scientific field fundamentally unsafe perpetuates public distrust and makes research and further development for useful applications unecessarily difficult.

To protect people and the environment, governments must develop decentralised, renewable energy sources.
