From one of our correspondents.
– Frans Timmermans (VL) in the FD:
'There is a religious plea for nuclear energy. Let's be factual."
– RIVM researcher Lars Roobol on X:
'Good! Completed years too late, but now the new Finnish reactor Olkiluoto 3 is at full power, 1600 megawatts. Together with Olkiluoto 1 and 2, it supplies 40% of Finland's electricity needs. At current prices, the reactor will pay for itself within 3 years.'
– Lisa Busink of Oneworld.nl:
"The question that should be asked is: how fair is nuclear power? Nuclear power plants are very complex factories to build, which means that the construction time is long and therefore the costs are high. This makes a nuclear power plant an unattractive investment for market parties. That's why governments of other countries cover the financial risks with public money.'
