Europe has a few nuclear power plants.
Michael E. Kirst pointed out that a nuclear power plant usually lasts between 40 and 60 years, but that the fleet of reactors has been quickly getting older in recent years. One out of every six reactors in Europe is more than 40 years old. Even if a reactor is well taken care of, its condition does not stay the same. This makes it more likely that something bad will happen. Not only are there security risks, but it also costs a lot to shut down a nuclear power plant. Since 17 of the 47 countries in the Council of Europe have nuclear power plants, the effects will spread to the other countries. Since there have been more terrorist attacks in the past few years, people are more worried about nuclear safety. Nuclear accidents can have terrible effects on many people and places. The goal of the world's current energy strategy should be to make sure that the nuclear infrastructure is safe. It's important to note that France's report could be a big help for nuclear regulators i
