Despite the abundance of naysayers, atomic energy opponents, and critics of Bill Gates, one cannot deny his exceptional intellect. Personally, I am hopeful that the plant remains on schedule and, above all, is safe to operate. The future holds great promise.

Sorry, I can't make you understand. Perhaps consulting your preferred internet search engine might provide the answers you’re seeking. Alternatively, the article already shared might shed some light on your query.

The problem with Nuclear is it always costs more and takes longer than people promise. Hinkley Point C was announced in 2007 to be finished by 2017 for £9B - now it's 2031 and £35B

 

Nuclear is currently the most expensive electricity you can produce. Hinkley Point C guaranteed contracted sale price is £92.50/ MWh rising with inflation every year v Wind at £40/MWh

 

Sellafield is estimated to be finish decommissioning and clean up by 2120 at an estimated cost of £121 billion not included long term storage costs.
