The only risk is that government will simply shut it down
As Merkel did in Germany. At the behest of the Russian funded Greens.
So they had to sue her for damages - and won.
The risk has never been lower. But the cost of large sets is very high due to bureaucracy.
The first people to toe dip will be the eastern Europeans...,and large data centres who can afford the capital cost and have the cash to bribe the bureaucrats, politicians and activists.
They will build SMRs. to test the water
"Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power is preparing to sign subcontract agreements and establish a project office at Dukovany after the signing of the contract to build two APR-1000 units at a project cost of CZK407 billion (USD18.6 billion). The aim is to start construction in 2029."
Bloody cheap. Czechs obviously don't give a s*it about Euratom
But since they are replacing 4 obsolete Russian PWRs, the infrastructure and planning is also been done, and the government is 100% behind it
Its not as much power as Hinkley, but even so Hinkley C build cost has been an utter disaster.
I think it will become, inflation adjusted the most expensive nuclear power plant ever constructed
By deliberate government design
