It’s not a perfect solution, and ideally we would all be on renewable, I am not disagreeing with you there.

But a full renewable grid in Europe is simply not realistic with the tech we have now. A full nuclear grid is.

Keep researching renewable and nuclear (fusion would be the ideal option, even above renewable), but use the best we have now.

We have uranium in Europe. But we can also import it from many countries all around the globe, ao strategically much more diversified than rare materials needed for renewable.

Educate new professionals. Build them securely, not fastly. Still a better time perspective than a full renewable switch. Plants will always be easy targets, nuclear or not. Modern plants do not catastrophically fail like Chernobyl. Do yoh really think France has not thought of the security implications with their plants all over the country?

Now for nuclear waste… Yeah, it’s a problem. Also being researched. But it is little waste. It’s manageable until we have the right renewable tech or nuclear fusion.

As for the cost, again, it is expensive upfront, cheap to operate, cost efficient to renew.
