The author of the article noted that out of 56 reactors in France, 12 reactors are being prepared for shutdown, another 35 have been completely shut down.
The dilapidated nuclear power plants in France began to be repaired amid the energy crisis. This was reported by Bloomberg.
Lionel Laurent, a journalist writes that metal workers (welders, pipefitters and others) have been tasked to repair nuclear power plants by 2023.
The author of the article noted that of the 56 reactors in France, 12 reactors are being prepared for shutdown and another 35 are completely shut down.
"Given the need for electricity, there is a temptation to loosen bureaucratic rules and postpone repairs and simply resume electricity generation," Laurent writes.
According to the journalist, there is a shortage of personnel in the European country to carry out repairs. At present, France has even opened a school of welders and is inviting personnel from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
