Does that clarify closing existing reactors?

[โ€“] legofreak@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

The decision to close the remaining reactors was made around a decade ago. It's simply not possible to flip a switch and turn them back on. There's no fuel, the reactors have not been maintained and the personnel to run these reactors or perform the maintenance is not here any more. The fuel also has to come from somewhere, and " somewhere" being mostly Russia.
