EDF shares plunge after faults found at French nuclear power reactor
That&#x27;s one serious downside of nuclear, when there&#x27;s an issue, you lose a lot of power generation ( on the other hand if you have a lot of wind turbines from the same model, in such a scenario you&#x27;d still have the same type of impact).<p>However, nuclear is still more stable than renewables without massive amounts of storage which are currently infeasible, and the future French energy mix will continue to have a heavy nuclear component ( a few variants, including ditching all nuclear, were proposed and studied, and one of the most nuclear heavy ones was chosen).
