@lonlyuser @Emil actually, it is hurting: I forgot which NPP this was in the US, but at one point there was one nearing its 40 year mark and the owner was like: "well, this plant is still in perfect working order, but we're not gonna put in the effort for an extension, so fuck this", and it closed.
Artificial and arbitrary limits make no sense. It's not something we use for other stuff either.
@Emil If we want, we could actually develop a domestic uranium mining industry in Europe. There are several places where this can be done.
